Hi guys,
I need to know a way to remove or at least decrease the scent of clove oil.
I asked on yahoo answers and was told that maybe an acid-base reaction could help. I figured out that it is a base, but won't performing that reaction change its real properties?

I am not a chemistry person, so please excuse me if I am not questioning properly.

Its urgent guys, can anyone refer to something or generate an idea?

Thanks
