Series 10: Spice - Nutmeg
EDTUnisex
The Story
Nutmeg is a bold, spicy fragrance that captures the raw, aromatic essence of nutmeg itself. It opens with a sharp, peppery kick of nutmeg and pink pepper, then settles into a warm, woody heart of clove and cinnamon. The base is a smooth blend of sandalwood, cedar, and a touch of vanilla, giving it a subtle sweetness. This is a minimalist, avant-garde scent that feels both familiar and completely unexpected.
