I'm one of the few people in the world who are highly allergic to something in coffee so I can never drink it, damn! But I do like nutmeg and I love the history behind it that you shared with us. Thank you for sharing it.

That’s a tough allergy!! Glad you enjoyed the nutmeg article though 😊

Nutmeg is also a prominent note in some of my favorites men's fragrances of the 80s. Two that quickly come to mind are Bijan Men and Cacharel pour L'Homme. There are many others.

Thanks for sharing this! I hadn’t thought of the connection to fragrances. Now I’m curious to smell these colognes!

Hi! Yes, sorry for not saying more. It is a good book. I learned of it after hearing the author on a podcast. I think it was the podcast of Emergence Magazine. Not sure, though. Thanks for your great essay on this amazing fruit/seed! Kind regards!
