Мацис
Warm, nutmeg-adjacent, faintly sweet. The red aril wrapped around a nutmeg seed — sharper and more aromatic than nutmeg, with a pepper-citrus edge.

Цікавий факт
Mace and nutmeg were once among the most valuable commodities on earth. In the 17th century, the Dutch traded Manhattan Island to the British in exchange for Run Island in the Banda archipelago — a tiny island that was the world's sole source of nutmeg and mace. The deal was formalized in the 1667 Treaty of Breda.

У парфумерії
Mace is a top-to-heart spice note providing a sharper, more aromatic alternative to nutmeg. The essential oil's higher terpene content gives it a brighter character suitable for compositions where nutmeg would be too heavy. Used in amber, spicy-woody, and warm masculine compositions. Compatible with other warm spices (cardamom, cinnamon) and with woody bases. Less restricted than some spice oils due to lower myristicin content than nutmeg.
