How come are you writing that "nelkenoel" is myrtle oil? Although related, these
are different oils: nelkenoel (clove oil) originates from Szygium aromaticum and
myrtle oil from Myrtus communis. You can study various spice plants and their

There is an article on using a device for evaporating "nelkenoel" in Deutsches
Bienen Journal 5 (1997): 361. The manufacturer is given as:
