Lovely aroma, very clean. We love the mace blades
smells amazing
only use for special things
Nice whole mace blades.
Ground mace is so hard to find where I live, so when I found whole mace on the sight at a decent price I bought it.These smell wonderful even before grinding. There are a few dark spots and blemishes, but that is to be expected. Otherwise these are vibrant and have good color. I would definitely buy these again.
