Product Overview

This very Fine Ambrette Seed Co2, in our opinion, presents an intriguing, very complex aromatic profile – intensely rich, sweet, nutty/seed-like, musky-floral, rounded with nuances of Cognac, Clary Sage, and Tobacco back notes, and underscored with the subtle, sensual character of leather and animalic notes all through the long drydown. It is an extremely tenacious, excellent fixative that improves with age. Amazing!

Ambrette Seed CO2 is a notable aromatic oil extracted from the seeds of Abelmoschus moschatus, the Hibiscus plant, native to the tropics of Asia, Northern Australia and Africa; it is a close relative of okra and now also grows in the tropics of Central and South America. The Latin, abelmoschus, is derived from Arabic and means the 'source of' or 'father of musk'. 

In perfumery applications, Ambrette Seed is an excellent fixative with an exalting effect – in other words, it has a unique way of lifting or enhancing the quality of a perfume.[3] It provides the botanical version of the musk aroma so highly prized in natural/botanical perfumery, as well as a much healthier choice compared to synthetic musks for use in perfume formulas. A little Ambrette Seed CO2 goes a long way and very little is needed in base accords to achieve the desired effect.

Natural Perfumery Basics

One of the most common ways to formulate a personal fragrance is by composing a balance of aromatic oils using three different categories based on oil evaporation (volatility) rates: Top, Middle and Base Notes.

Plant Musk

Rating

I love the smell of musk but it's hard to come by. This extraction combined with other sensual essential oils fits the bill! and, Eden always has quality oils. The difference between them & some of the bulk wholesalers is night & day!
