What it smells like

Clove smells warm, sharp and sweet, like dried buds with a slightly medicinal, peppery heat and a rich, spicy depth. It feels intense, aromatic and festive. It is used in the top and heart to add a strong, warm spice. It pairs well with cinnamon, rose, carnation, vanilla, amber and woods.

Clove is listed in 136 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the heart, top and base positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with musk, bergamot, rose and amber. Perfumes that use it fall most often into the floral family.
