Nutmeg
Origin and background
Scented evergreen nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans) is grown as a fruit tree, seeds (so-called nutmeg) and seed coverings (so-called mace) are used as spices, and the seeds are used to make nutmeg butter, which is used in perfumery. The fruit comes from the Maluku Islands, where it is mainly grown. Another important breeding site is the West Indies archipelago. It is important to distinguish that nutmeg is the seed of the tree, but mace is the shell covering the seed.
Historically, grated nutmeg was used as a sachet. The Romans used it as incense. It was not until the 17th century that it became important in the Western world as a precious spice.

The blend can be placed, for example, in a roll-on bottle that is convenient to carry along and can be used at any convenient time.
- Can also be added to a neutral unscented cream, lotion, or liquid soap to achieve radiant and healthy skin.
- Can be used in an aroma diffuser both at home or in the office to create a pleasant and cozy atmosphere that relaxes the senses and creates a pleasant aroma around you.
