Nutmeg Absolute is derived from the dried seeds of the evergreen Myristica fragrans tree, which is native to Indonesia's Moluccas (Spice Islands) and now found in other regions like India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and the Caribbean. The extracts are produced from the ripened, dried seeds. This absolute is widely used in spicy accords, men's fragrances, and as a top note in floral, oriental, wood, leather, animalic, and black tea blends.

The scent of Nutmeg Absolute is warm, spicy, sweet, and woody, adding depth and complexity to various fragrance compositions. Its calming aroma also makes it suitable for use in skincare and aromatherapy. The oil’s pale orange-brown appearance results from solvent extraction, which helps preserve its rich and complex scent. Originating from Indonesia, Nutmeg Absolute is a versatile ingredient in both perfumery and wellness, providing a soothing and aromatic experience in multiple applications.
