Nutmeg
Nutmeg is a warm, spicy, and slightly sweet fragrance note that adds a rich, aromatic quality to perfumes. Its scent profile is complex, with hints of earthiness and subtle woody undertones, evoking a sense of warmth and comfort. Nutmeg is often used as a middle or base note, providing depth and an exotic touch to fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with spices, woods, and florals, contributing to well-rounded and sophisticated perfumes that exude warmth and elegance.
History & Production: Nutmeg comes from the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, which is native to the Banda Islands in Indonesia. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the dried seeds, capturing its warm and spicy aroma. Nutmeg has a long history of use in perfumery, traditional medicine, and cuisine, valued for its distinctive scent and flavor. In perfumery, nutmeg continues to be a cherished ingredient, adding an inviting warmth and exotic spice that enhances both classic and modern fragrances.
