Ambrette Seed (Peru)

Ambrette seed from Peru is a warm and musky fragrance note with a soft, slightly nutty scent profile that carries subtle floral and fruity undertones. Its aroma is refined, sensual, and natural, adding a luxurious and skin-like quality to perfumes. Peruvian ambrette seed imparts a smooth, musky character and is often used as a base note to bring depth and longevity to fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with floral, woody, and citrus notes, contributing to fragrances that are elegant, comforting, and full of charm.

History & Production: Ambrette seed is derived from the seeds of the Abelmoschus moschatus plant, native to tropical regions such as Peru. The seeds are dried and steam-distilled to extract their precious oil, known for its warm and musky aroma. In perfumery, Peruvian ambrette seed is highly valued as a natural alternative to animalic musks, prized for its ability to add a rich, sensual depth that enhances the warmth and sophistication of fragrances, evoking a sense of exotic luxury and intimacy.
