How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Cloves appears 1 time as a top note, 0 times in the heart and 1 time in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Cloves in this library average 9.5 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward autumn and winter wear. Treat that as a tendency of the spicy family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.
Fragrances built with Cloves
Tom Ford
Lost Cherry
Amber Floral Gourmand · Unisex
Launched in 2018 under Tom Ford's Private Blend line, Lost Cherry explores the contrast between an innocent, luscious fruit note and a dark, decadent, liqueur-soaked underbelly. The fragrance opens with a mouth-watering burst of ripe black cherry candy infused with bitter almond and rich, boozy cherry liqueur. The heart introduces velvety plum, sweet Turkish rose, and deep jasmine sambac to elevate the fruit note into high-end perfumery. The complex dry-down features a warm, spicy bed of roasted tonka bean, rich vanilla, balsams, cinnamon, and woody notes. It delivers a playful yet seductive experience, offering a realistic, luxurious take on cherry that breaks away from juvenile fruit body sprays.
Guerlain
Tobacco Honey
Amber Woody · Unisex
Launched in 2023 within Guerlain's exclusive L'Art et la Matiere collection, Tobacco Honey is a magnificent exploration of contrasting textures built around golden, viscous honey and rich tobacco. The fragrance opens with an ultra-rich, realistic wave of sweet honey accented by sharp cloves and anise. The sophisticated heart introduces dry tobacco leaves tempered by nutty sesame and warm tonka bean. The decadent base melts into a deep foundation of smooth vanilla, precious oud, and myrrh. It is a masterpiece of balance, offering a luxurious, golden warmth that envelops the wearer.
