View full details

Nutmeg and mace come from the same fruit. Nutmeg is the seed kernel; mace is the red, lacy aril that wraps it. The two give oils of similar composition, but this one is distilled from the nut alone.

01 · Origin

Myristica fragrans is a tropical evergreen of the Myristicaceae, native to the Banda Islands of the Moluccas. This oil is distilled from nuts of certified organic cultivation in Indonesia, DE-ÖKO-007.

02 · Chemistry

Sabinene leads, with alpha- and beta-pinene close behind, giving a fresh, peppery-terpenic top. Terpinene-4-ol and gamma-terpinene add a warm, slightly herbal body. Myristicin, a phenylpropanoid, carries the characteristic sweet-spicy depth and calls for low concentration in use.

03 · In Practice

Warm, sweet and spicy, with a fresh, terpenic lift. A middle note in natural perfumery, used in small proportion. Massage blends, diffusion and natural perfumery. Pairs well with Pepper black organic (No. 2500) and Cardamom organic (No. 1750) in spice accords. Blends with orange, clove, bergamot, rosemary, lavender, black pepper and cardamom.
