Yes, I was talking about whole cloves.
I use just a little bit in my henna-mix, for the odeur so it's not
much work for me to pulverize (moudre) a few cloves. (smells delicous)

But you can save the powder the same way.
Because of the strong essential oil in the gloves, the best way is to
store the powder in dark glass in a dark and dry place.
That way, you will have the most pleasure of it.
