The aromatic flower buds known as cloves are found on the clove tree native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, and Madagascar. Cloves are well known for their rich fragrance and are often used as a spice. Essential oils are derived from the clove bud as well as the clove leaf.
Clove Bud Oil has a stronger floral scent than Clove Leaf Oil and as a result it is more commonly used for aromatherapy or for additions to room sprays and air-fresheners. In contrast, the Clove Leaf Essential Oil is not commonly used in aromatherapy. Except for this distinction, however, Clove Bud and Clove Leaf Oil share many of the same benefits.
