Description: Nutmeg is not only popular in the kitchen, but it is also popular in the essential oil world. People love Nutmeg essential oil for many good reasons. Its warm aroma smells just like the nutmeg in the kitchen during those cozy holidays, but just much more fragrant.

Many people don’t know that Nutmeg and Mace both come from the nutmeg tree. Mace comes from the aril of the fruit and the pit of fruit is actually the Nutmeg. If you like Nutmeg essential oil, then chances are, you will also like Mace essential oil. But Nutmeg is still the popular pick, as it has a stronger aroma. 

Nutmeg essential oil is used in natural medicine, perfumery, as well as essential oil blends for the diffuser.  It is a wildly popular choice for holiday essential blends and creating a warm and cozy ambiance in the home.
