Nutmeg (Indonesia)

Nutmeg from Indonesia is a warm and spicy fragrance note with a rich, aromatic scent profile that carries subtle sweet and slightly woody undertones. Its aroma is bold, earthy, and invigorating, adding a comforting and exotic quality to perfumes. Indonesian nutmeg imparts a smooth, spicy character and is often used as a middle or base note to create depth and warmth in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with citrus, floral, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are robust, sophisticated, and full of charm.

The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the dried seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree, capturing its warm, spicy essence. In perfumery, Indonesian nutmeg is prized for its ability to add an exotic, rich depth that enhances the warmth and complexity of fragrances, evoking a sense of tradition and luxurious spice.
