Hello out there. I'm new here and have a question about this. I'm looking for Clove Oil or Oil of Clove. Is this the same as the Clove Bud? I have never seen this oil (Clove Bud) at any of the Essential Oil websites.

joe szeliga --
Great question!
The entire Clove plant can be distilled for essential oil, but just as with the Orange tree (which produces Sweet Orange Oil from the fruit rind, Petigrain Oil from the leaves, and Neroli Oil from the flowers) Cloves offer more than one scent, and they are sold (and priced) separately. The Clove Bud Oil (like the Sweet Orange Oil) is warmer and sweeter than Clove Leaf Oil, which has a slightly bitter scent. It is also more expensive, because the Clove buds, when dried, have an extra value as a culinary spice, but the leaves do not, and are therefore only used in the perfume industry.
Our line of essential oils is cut to skin-safe levels with pure Almond Oil, so you don't have to work out any formulas for dilution. Their scent is milder, but just as true, as uncut oils, and many prefer them because they can be blended to make your own condition oils, according to your own recipes, without worrying about how much to cut the oil, and with what. We only use Almond Oil to cut our essentials, because it has a long shelf-life when dosed with Vitamin E (which we do), and it has a very mild fragrance of its own, which enhances rather than detracts from the essential fragrances blended into it.
However, if you are looking for Oil of Clove in UNCUT form, to use as an anaesthetic -- for a toothache -- what we manufacture here will NOT be what you want. You will want Uncut Pharmaceutical Grade Oil of Cloves, and the scent will be of no importance (whether it is from the leaf or bud) as both oils have the same anaesthetic properties.

Oh I never thought of doing the whole plant or tree; not just what the oil said it was.
