CO2 extracted seeds (aka abelmoschus moschatus)
Our Ambrette oil is the thin oil – easily pourable at room temperature.
Ambrette Seed has sweet and rich, warm, musky, nutty aroma with a exotic touch of floral.
its odour quotient is light – but its tenacious.
Note: Always dilute before application to the body.
Why is it called “musk”. It is called so because of its similarity to the real musk, obtained from a gland behind the navel of the male musk deer. This substance was renowned for its remarkable powerful and enduring odour. Fortunately the stags do not have to make the sacrifice these days for us to be able to use a musk oil.
Extraction Method: Supercritical carbon dioxide. This method uses carbon dioxide that is in a fluid state but has a temperature and pressure that give it unique properties somewhere between a gas and a liquid. This enables it to act as a solvent that is idea for chemical extraction due to its low toxicity. It is also able to preserve some of the more volatile components of essential oils that may be lost when other extraction methods are used. It is also very easy to separate the solvent (CO2) from the oil at the end of the process ensuring maximum purity.
** It is important to note that all CO2 oils are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying CO2 oils for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance – particularly the rare and exotic notes – become lost
CO2 oils can be very viscous or even solid and can be difficult to extract from the bottle. Gently warming the absolute in a water bath will melt the product and make it easier to use. Removal of the standard dripolator may be required in some cases.
