NUTMEG EO RECT
NATURALSTOGETHER(r)
肉豆蔻
Spicy, warm, woody.
Less terpenic than a regular essential oil, the powdery bottom notes are sharper.
Thanks to its balsamic, fresh and tenacious citrus note, this oil is easily used in amber and powdery bases.
Nutmeg is made from the seeds of a tropical evergreen tree native to the Moluccas, or the Spice Islands, of Indonesia, and is cultivated there and in the West Indies.
Indonesia
dsm-firmenich sources its Nutmeg mainly from Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi in Indonesia. Originally found only in the Maluku islands, the nutmeg tree has spread over the centuries across much of the Indonesian archipelago.
Nutmeg can be harvested year round, but conditions are best during the dry season. Smallholder farmers pick the fruit by hand when it is still relatively green, at around 4 to 5 months. The flesh is removed to reveal the fragrant seed, which is then dried, ground and processed.
