Ambrette Seed Oil

Whatsapp Order

Ambrette Seed Oil is a rare, aromatic essential oil derived from the seeds of the Abelmoschus moschatus plant. Known for its rich, musky, slightly sweet, and floral scent, Ambrette Seed Oil is often considered a botanical alternative to animal-derived musk. It is widely prized in high-end perfumery, natural cosmetic formulations, and aromatherapy for its warm, sensual, and long-lasting aroma.

This oil is rich in ambrettolide and farnesol, compounds that lend it a delicate musky note without the synthetic harshness of artificial musks. Ambrette Seed Oil is non-toxic and safe for topical use when diluted, making it ideal for fine fragrances, massage oils, and therapeutic blends.
