Nutmeg Scented Candles

What nutmeg smells like

Nutmeg is warm, dry and a little woody, sweeter than clove and softer than cinnamon. On its own it is quiet. Its job is to make other spices feel rounder and more like real baking. In these blends it sits behind cinnamon and ginger in the cookie scents, under apple and pear in the orchard ones, and next to vanilla and butter where things go creamy. Good for anyone who wants fall in a jar without the candy sweetness.
