Used as a spicy note to add warmth and complexity. Nutmeg blends well with cinnamon, clove, and vanilla in oriental compositions, and with citrus in spicy-fresh accords.

Fun fact

Nutmeg essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the ground seeds, yielding a pale yellow liquid with characteristic aroma.
