Background

Isoeugenol is a fragrance and spice with the odor of cloves. It is found in the oils of clove, ylang-ylang, tuberose, and jonquil. It is manufactured by the isomerization of eugenol. The International Fragrance Research Association recommends that isoeugenol be used at no more than a 1% concentration in fragrance compounds. It is an approved flavoring agent for foods.
