NUTMEG
Nutmeg has a warm, spicy, slightly sweet, and woody aroma with a distinctive, rich, and complex scent profile. It offers a sharp, slightly peppery initial impression that softens into a smooth, round, and comforting fragrance note with hints of warmth and depth.
Origin & Extraction
Nutmeg is derived from the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, native to the Banda Islands in Indonesia. The seed is carefully dried and then ground or steam-distilled to extract its essential oil. The Spice Islands (Moluccas) have historically been the primary source of high-quality nutmeg.
