The musky, powdery, and sensual notes of ambrette combine with frankincense to melt into the skin in a regressive accord. A cloudy, vegetal musk with almond and vanilla accents. The detail that makes the difference is an almond note that softens the resinous touch of frankincense.
Use the musky aspect of ambrette to give volume to osmanthus, or its almond base to soften the edges of yuzu.
Native to Asia, ambrette is a plant related to hibiscus whose leaves contain fragrant seeds. Its use dates back a long time. It was incorporated into remedies for all kinds of ailments, while some South American indigenous tribes substituted it with coffee. In the 18th century, this "vegetal musk" was used to powder and perfume gloves and wigs. It's that same scent that gives Ambrette its lift and shine.
The caress you always need on a Sunday morning stroll, or the gentle, silent seduction during an apartment party.
