У парфумерії
West Indian bay functions as a heart note in bay rum, spicy-aromatic, and masculine compositions. Its eugenol-rich character provides warm spiciness and clove-like depth. Works alongside rum, citrus (lime, orange), and warm spices (cinnamon, allspice) in traditional bay rum accords. Also used in Amber and spicy-woody compositions where warm clove character is desired without using clove bud oil directly.
