Cozy up with Clove: 8 reasons why we love it

Imagine curling up with a cup of hot chocolate and enjoying the warm, woodsy scent of Clove essential oil rising gently from your Dewdrop™ Diffuser after a snowy day. Can you think of a more picture-perfect way to unwind after the holiday hustle? We sure can’t!

A winter classic, Clove essential oil is extracted by steam distilling the flowers buds of clove trees to produce its iconic warm, spicy scent. Known for its woodsy aroma, this oil will bring a winter-ready vibe wherever you use it! From diffuser blends to air freshener, check out some Clove essential oil benefits below.

Topical treat

Spice up your skin care with Clove! Indulge in its spicy aroma by mixing it with your favorite massage oils or V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex before a soothing neck rub. You can also add it to a moisturizing lotion to enjoy its comforting scent throughout the day. Remember, it’s a strong oil, so dilute Clove with a carrier oil, lotion, or massage oil before use.

Warm and welcome

From building the tallest snowman ever to walking through a winter wonderland, this season is full of fun and chilly activities! After a day of outdoor adventure, draw up a warm bath, dilute drops of Clove oil in the tub, and allow yourself to sit back and soak up all the Clove essential oil benefits.

Perfect pairs

Looking for ways to mix it up? Clove essential oil has a warm, friendly scent that plays well with other essential oils.  Set up a winter play date with Cinnamon Bark, Grapefruit, Orange, or Nutmeg for an unbeatable holiday match made in heaven!

Fresh as a forest

Add 3–4 drops of Clove into a glass spray bottle to bring in a warm, woodsy scent that simply sings of the outdoors. Use this mixture as your go-to air freshener or as a linen spray to feel like you’re getting all the joys of forest air without tramping through the snow!
