Ambrette Seed CO₂ Extract
Used in 25 formulas
About this material
Ambrette Seed CO₂ Extract opens with a soft, musky sweetness that has a distinct floral quality reminiscent of hibiscus or tropical fruits. As it develops, the scent reveals a warm, slightly animalic undertone that adds depth and complexity without being overpowering. This extract is particularly effective in enhancing the longevity and richness of a formula, making it a valuable addition to both floral and gourmand compositions. It pairs well with other musks, as well as with fruity notes like pear or peach, and can also soften the edges of more robust woody accords. The typical usage in this catalogue ranges from 0.090% to 0.61%, with a common dose around 0.185%.
