Just like its culinary uses, the woody spice nutmeg imparts a wonderful aroma to nutmeg fragrances, which have gained much popularity lately.
Nutmeg trees, which can grow to be 15 meters tall, dominate the landscape of Indonesia and the countries around it. Upon reaching ripeness, the orangey-yellow fruits of Myristica fragrans burst open to reveal an ovoid nut adorned with mace, tiny irregular hairs.
After steam distillation, they will release a spicy, dry aroma similar to grated wood, which is comparable to an old book's scent. This intricate top-to-base note is highly sought after for its use in creating woodsy and ambery scents for both genders.
