Clove discussion! including bitter clove and clove cigarettes

[ShadowEtienne]

In GC, two scents that I like that have clove (and I find it noticeable) are Wrath (dragon’s blood spiked with black pepper, clove, and cinnamon) and Arachne of Lydia (dusty clove and blackcurrant). Clove is in general a note that I don't actively seek out, but I quite like in the right blends.

 

Unlike others above, I don't find Arachne of Lydia to be a single note clove, but the clove is a lovely element of the scent. It's balanced out by a rich dark sweetness that is completely not a cloying sweetness from the black currant for me. Arachne of Lydia has a more dusty/drying clove note for me, in a quite lovely way.

 

Wrath is a much brighter/sweeter clove (my general assessment of this one was a lovely bright spiced simple syrup full of warming spices, but again, somehow not cloying).

Thank you all! Right now I'm feeling I NEED ALL of them
