Description

Eugenol is a classic aromatic compound with a distinctive warm, spicy and clove-like odor. Its profile combines sweet-spicy, woody and slightly phenolic nuances with a subtle balsamic character. Eugenol has a strong personality and good persistence, making it an important material for creating spicy and floral effects in fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Eugenol is widely used in clove, carnation, spicy, oriental, woody and floral accords. It can provide warmth and character to floral hearts while adding depth to balsamic and woody bases. Eugenol is also useful for creating naturalistic carnation effects and can contribute a warm spicy dimension to rose and other floral compositions. Because of its strong odor, it is best introduced gradually and evaluated in dilution before being incorporated into a complete formula.
