Ambrette

Ambrette comes from the seeds of Abelmoschus moschatus, a plant related to hibiscus, and the oil is distilled from the seeds. It smells soft and musky, like warm skin, with a faint fruity, floral warmth and a smooth, slightly waxy quality. It is a natural musk without any animal origin. Perfumers value ambrette because it adds a quiet, sensual glow and a clean, skin-like finish. It blends with iris, rose, woods and amber, and in a base it gives a fragrance a gentle softness that feels intimate rather than loud.

Ambrette is mostly a base note in this range, adding a soft, skin-like musk with a hint of fruit that rounds woods and florals.
