Intensely sweet-spicy, numbing, medicinal
Highest-impact spice in the system. One clove changes everything.
Eugenol is robust but still loses ~20% in pre-ground form. Adjusted from 5 to 4 at grocery level — still Very High, but slightly less nuclear than fresh-ground whole cloves. Caution still applies strongly.
