🌿 MACE (CO₂ EXTRACTION) IN PERFUMERY ✦ “One of perfumery’s most luxurious hidden spices.” 🧡🔥 Mace is the delicate red lace-like covering surrounding the nutmeg seed. In perfumery, CO₂ extracted mace is considered far more refined, richer, and smoother than traditional steam-distilled spice oils. Using CO₂ extraction preserves the ingredient’s full aromatic profile — giving perfumers a warmer, creamier, more natural spicy depth with less harshness. ✦ How Mace CO₂ Smells 🧡 Warm 🌶️ Spicy 🥛 Creamy ✨ Slightly sweet 🪵 Woody 🌫️ Softly aromatic It smells richer and smoother than regular nutmeg.
