Nutmeg Essential Oil – Warm, Spicy Comfort for Perfumes, Skincare & Relaxation
Nutmeg Essential Oil by Bio Shop™ is steam-distilled from the dried seeds of the Myristica fragrans tree. Known for its warm, spicy, and slightly woody aroma, this essential oil delivers both sensory indulgence and practical benefits.
A popular choice for oriental perfumes, massage oils, and men’s grooming products, Nutmeg oil is also used in aromatherapy for its grounding, muscle-relieving, and emotionally warming effects. It works beautifully as a middle-to-base note in perfumery, adding richness and depth to cozy, spicy blends.
