Nutmeg Essential Oil is a therapeutic-grade oil steam-distilled from the dried seeds of Myristica fragrans (nutmeg tree), presenting as colourless to pale yellow. Rich in sabinene, alpha-pinene, and myristicin, Nutmeg Oil delivers a warm, spicy, woody-sweet, slightly camphorous aroma that is deeply familiar in both culinary and aromatic contexts. In Southeast Asia, nutmeg holds particular historical and cultural significance — the Banda Islands of Indonesia were once the world’s only source of nutmeg, and the spice trade that controlled it shaped the history of the entire region.
