Do not use undiluted on the skin: it is a raw material, not a finished product.

Use

Eugenol has a spice scent reminiscent of cloves and allspice. The scent is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is in spicy fragrances, chypre, fougère and in certain floral accords, such as rose and carnation. You usually use between 0,1% and 5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with spicy scents, but also with many floral scents and citrus. It adds warmth and spiciness to the scent. In perfumes it is mainly a heart note, it is stable in most products. It can be used in soap, but it can cause discolouration.

Store in a cool, dry, dark place and out of the reach of children.

Properties

Eugenol is a colourless to yellow liquid at room temperature. It occurs naturally, especially in the branches, leaves and buds of the clove bush, and in the bark of the cinnamon tree, but can also be made synthetically. We sell a natural isolate made from parts of the clove bush.
