Nutmeg
En vinterduft af varme og undren. En unik kombination af varme, friske og krydrede facetter blander sig i en charmerende duft, der mest bruges til at tilføre antydninger af krydderi til komplekse akkorder. Dens bløde, aromatiske facetter giver et strejf af charme til Eaux de Cologne og Eaux de toilette for mænd samt et væld af ambrede dufte.
Muskatnød er et af de varmeste og hyggeligste krydderier i parfume. Den har al tilstedeværelsen fra koriander, safran og kardemomme, men uden deres voksagtige hede. I stedet har muskatnød en rund, tør og indbydende varme, der spiller godt sammen med andre krydderier og tilfører dybde til lyse citrusdufte. Dens tilgængelige tekstur gør den til en let note at genkende og nyde, hvis du lige er begyndt med aromatiske dufte. Muskatnøds sprøde, men afslappede appel er et fantastisk afsæt til mere krydrede dufte og viser sig bedst frem i efterår og vinter.
Meget facetteret duft, der veksler mellem varme og friskhed - krydret, blød og aromatisk.

Historie
The ancient city of Constantinople was the first to dabble in the newfound delights of nutmeg when the spice was imported from India during the 6th century. It would take six more centuries before the spice made its way to Europe as plunder during The Crusades, where it really thrilled the senses of its new fans—quickly gaining popularity and becoming the second-most popular spice after pepper. New nutmeg devotees found ways to flavor almost anything with the spice, despite its hefty price tag (half a kilo of nutmeg would put you out of pocket by three sheep and a cow). The treasured spice was carried in a small silver or wooden box alongside a grater and added to dishes at leisure.
Produktion
Originally native to the Molucca Islands of Indonesia, the nutmeg tree now grows in many tropical regions across the globe. However, the production of nutmeg has largely remained in its native homeland, with the exception of Sri Lanka and Grenada Island. The delightfully fragrant scent of nutmeg is obtained through steam distillation—but only the nuts deemed unworthy for culinary purposes are distilled.

Despite its image as a delightfully wintry scent, nutmeg has a dark side: When consumed in high doses, nutmeg is a hallucinogen and can cause fatal food poisoning! Nutmeg comes from dioecious trees, meaning that each plant is distinctly male or female. The yellow-orange fruit that—once mature—fall and release an ovoid seed (nutmeg), are female. The coveted nutmeg seeds are wrapped in a lacy, reddish covering called “mace,” which is also sold as a spice (its spicy, pungent scent is similar to that of nutmeg).
