Why brands choose it

• Softer and more perfumed than clove, so it blends into spice accords without dominating.
• A clear story: it comes from the same tree as nutmeg but smells different.
• Suits seasonal candle and gift sets.

How it is used

Add a few drops to wax, a soap base or a carrier oil, and test the throw before scaling. Spice oils can strengthen after curing, so smell the finished product.

Make it yours

Blend it with orange, cinnamon or vanilla for a winter range, or pair it with cedarwood for a drier, woodier spice.
