Olfactory Properties of Ambrette Seed/Abelmoshus moschatus essential oil/India wild harvest
The essential oil of Ambrette Seed which is distilled from the concrete of Ambrette Seed is a viscous reddish brown liquid which solidifies into waxy mass(which melts easil with gentle) heat in cool temperatures. This concentrated essential oil has a distinctly different bouquet from the co2 extract and the absolute. The initial olfactory impression is one of a rich, complex, earthy, musky, tobacco, ripe fruity fragrance with little of the sweetness which one encounters in the absolute and the co2 extract. Later on as the essence passes into the heart note and dry out phases a delicate sweet floral-musky aroma comes forth amidst the more earthy-fruity-tobacco like notes. The richness and tenacity of the essential oil are very good
