Hi Sajen, clove is cengkeh. So just imagine an oil with very very intense aroma cengkeh. I heard that in the past the samurai may have used clove simply to differentiate between the oil for sword and oil for cooking.  Not sure if it's true. Anyway,  I was first shocked when I first smelled a katana, but then gradually I grew to like it better.  The smell has some hint of courage and intensity,  just my personal opinion. But I do like keris smells better. More options for expressions,  from mysterious jasmine to noble cendana. But then some say jasmine is more suitable for feminine kerises. Is this some new, paranormal-based opinion,  or is it one with strong cultural historical root?
