About Nutmeg
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) yields an oil distilled from the dried seed of the nutmeg tree, native to Indonesia. The aroma is warm and slightly nutty with a subtly camphorous undertone. Modern masculine fragrances use nutmeg sparingly to add warmth without sweetness · Tom Ford Noir Extreme, Lalique Encre Noire, Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme La Nuit. The Banda Islands of Indonesia were the world's only source for centuries until British and Dutch colonial expansion broke the monopoly.
