Ambrette Seed (Abelmoschus moschatus)

Ambrette Seed (Abelmoschus moschatus) — 14g 

Ambrette Seed is one of the most prized botanicals in natural perfumery, valued for its rare and exceptional musk quality. Derived from Abelmoschus moschatus, a flowering plant in the mallow family, these seeds provide the closest botanical equivalent to animal musk — making them an essential ingredient for perfumers working with all-natural or vegan formulas.

Perfumery Notes:

Ambrette Seed is renowned as a fixative and exalting agent — meaning it not only anchors a fragrance but actively lifts and enhances the overall composition. Its power lies not in a strong standalone scent but in its natural ambrettolide content, one of the most diffusive and tenacious musks available in botanical perfumery. It is among the very few plant-derived musks in existence, and commands a premium accordingly.

For those looking to incorporate ambrette into their perfumery work at a more accessible price point, we strongly recommend preparing a 20% tincture from these whole seeds. This classical perfumery technique unlocks the full fixing and smoothing power of the seed at a fraction of the cost of pre-made tinctures, and is the traditional method used by natural perfumers.

You will receive 14 grams of whole Ambrette Seeds in a labeled clear container.
