Nutmeg Essential Oil 50ml – Myristica Fragrans | Steam Distilled Indonesia

Discover the warm, spicy opulence of pure Nutmeg Essential Oil, steam distilled from the seeds of Myristica Fragrans sourced from Indonesia. Rich, sweet and beautifully complex — with a warm, woody spiciness, a soft, slightly musky sweetness and a clean, aromatic depth — Nutmeg is one of the most distinctive, characterful and historically significant essential oils in aromatherapy and natural perfumery.

Indonesia is the heartland of Nutmeg — the Banda Islands of the Maluku archipelago, once known as the Spice Islands, were for centuries the only place on earth where Nutmeg grew, making it one of the most precious and fiercely contested commodities in the history of world trade. In the 17th century, Nutmeg was worth more than its weight in gold in European markets — driving the great spice trade rivalries between the Portuguese, Dutch and English East India Companies, and shaping the course of colonial history. The Dutch went to extraordinary lengths to maintain their monopoly, including the infamous exchange of the island of Manhattan with the English in 1667 in return for sole control of the Nutmeg-producing island of Run. Few spices carry such a dramatic and consequential history.

Aromatically, Nutmeg Essential Oil is warm, spicy and beautifully versatile — sweet and somewhat woody, with a distinctive spicy character that adds depth, warmth and complexity to any blend. It blends beautifully with other spice oils, as well as with floral, citrus and woody essential oils, where it adds a beautiful, distinctive warmth to otherwise lighter compositions. In aromatherapy, its rich, warming and gently stimulating aromatic character makes it a valued and distinctive choice for diffusing and massage blending.

This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate Nutmeg regularly into their practice or product making.
