Nutmeg Hydrosol

Myristica fragrans

I've enjoyed including Nutmeg Hydrosol in some beautiful room mists around the holidays.

Nutmeg Essential Oil is considered an aphrodisiac in small doses, and Nutmeg Hydrosol may also have the potential to serve as an aphrodisiac.

The aroma of Nutmeg Hydrosol is reminiscent to that of diluted Nutmeg Essential Oil, but it almost smells a bit rubbery.
