6 — Suggested ANOC Signature Collections Using Nutmeg
- “Spiced Oud Whisper” → luxury orientals
- “Golden Spice Bloom” → high-end florals
- “Tropical Ember” → niche exotic woody-resinous
- “Nutmeg & Elemi Signature” → modern unisex / daily luxury
These blends can be marketed as limited artisan lines, with traceable chemotypes sourced from COPI clonal plantlets and CESI SC-CO₂ fractions — tying agroforestry → organogenesis → extraction → perfumery into a fully traceable supply chain.
If you want, I can next create a visual “Nutmeg + Agarwood + Elemi” agroforestry model with financial projections, showing:
- Planting layout & spacing
- Harvest timelines for each species
- Expected revenue streams from spice, resin, oil, and perfumery
Do you want me to generate that model next?
