Description

Solvent extracted seeds (aka abelmoschus moschatus)

Our ambrette oil is the thin oil – easily pourable at room temperature.

Ambrette Seed has sweet and rich, warm, musky, nutty aroma with a exotic touch of floral.

its odour quotient is light – but its tenacious.

Note: Always dilute before application to the body.

Why is it called “musk”. It is called so because of its similarity to the real musk, obtained from a gland behind the navel of the male musk deer. This substance was renowned for its remarkable powerful and enduring odour. Fortunately the stags do not have to make the sacrifice these days for us to be able to use a musk oil.

** It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance – particularly the rare and exotic notes – become lost.

Absolutes can be very viscous or even solid and can be difficult to extract from the bottle. Gently warming the absolute in a water bath will melt the product and make it easier to use.
