Nutmeg Essential Oil 50ml Steam Distilled

Warm spice comes forward first, sweet and gently woody, like nutmeg freshly grated into a quiet kitchen. This nutmeg essential oil is steam distilled from the seed of Myristica fragrans, sourced from Indonesia, giving it a rounded, distinctive character for diffusion and blending.

Warm, sweet spice in the room

• The aroma sits in the spice family, with a soft sweetness rather than a sharp edge.
• A woody undertone gives the scent depth, so it feels cosy without becoming heavy.
• It blends naturally with other spice oils when you want warmth and familiarity.
• Floral, citrus and wood oils can soften or brighten its spiced character.
• Use it sparingly in blends, where a small amount brings a clear nutmeg note.

Seed oil from Indonesia

This oil comes from the seed of Myristica fragrans, the botanical source of nutmeg. It is extracted by steam distillation.

How nutmeg sits in scent tradition

Nutmeg has long been valued as a spice, especially in cooking, perfumery and aromatic blending. In scent work, it brings sweetness and spice to compositions that might otherwise feel too plain. In a modern home ritual, it belongs to autumn evenings, winter diffusers and blends that ask for warmth rather than freshness.

Using it with care

Add only a small amount to a diffuser or aroma blend, as nutmeg has a strong spicy profile. For skin use, dilute well in a suitable carrier oil and patch test first.

Avoid use during pregnancy, around young children, and around pets unless guided by a qualified professional. Keep essential oils away from eyes, broken skin and direct contact with polished surfaces.
