About Nutmeg

Scent Profile

Nutmeg is warmer and rounder than sharp pepper. It has dry sweetness, a soft powdery spice texture, and a gentle warmth that can soften citrus or tea bitterness.

Use in Perfumery

It appears from heart to base in citrus-spice, amber, woody, oriental, and gourmand structures. While cardamom or ginger can feel cool or sharp, nutmeg rounds the edges and adds quiet body.

Did You Know?

Nutmeg may appear under names such as muscade in fragrance note lists. In perfumery it can suggest spice, warm wood, resin, or a soft powdery skin effect without needing to smell overtly culinary.
