Original designation: Muscade ESS
Myristica fragrans Houtt.
Nutmeg essence is warm but airborne, pairing sweet spice with dry wood, pepper and a cool terpenic lift. It creates warmth without syrup and is especially elegant in tobacco, amber and powder structures.

In perfumery vocabulary, Nutmeg Essence is associated with warm nutmeg, dry wood, sweet spice, terpenic lift, pepper and soft camphor. Its creative role is an agile top-note instrument with vivid lift, giving structure and character to complex accords.
In the organ, use it to build spiced woods, enrich amber lift and introduce tobacco accords. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
An essence belongs to the more volatile, mobile side of the palette. Depending on the botanical, it may come from distillation or—in explicitly expressed citrus grades—from mechanical pressing, bringing immediacy and lift.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
This 24-year vintage opens a door to another era of perfumery. An uncommon voice from legendary perfumery heritage, made for mature, daring compositions—a scent from the past, ready to inspire something entirely new.
