Botanical Name : Abelmoschus Moschatus, common name: Hibiscus Abelmoschus, Musk Mallow, Musk Okra, Ornamental OkraPlant
 
Aromatic Description: Ambrette Essential Oil (Abelmoschus moschatus) is extracted from the seeds of a tropical hibiscus plant in the Malvaceae family. The oil features a warm, musky, and slightly sweet aroma with floral, amber, and tobacco-like undertones that deepen and refine with age. Symbolically, Ambrette is linked to sensuality, grounding, and inner radiance, making it a powerful ally for emotional integration and sacral energy awakening. Its soothing and centring qualities lend themselves well to meditative and intimate experiences.
 
Chemically, the oil is rich in ambrettolide—a macrocyclic lactone that gives it its distinctive musky scent—along with farnesol, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and other fatty acid esters. These constituents contribute to its therapeutic effects, which include calming nervous tension, acting as a natural aphrodisiac, easing digestive discomfort and menstrual cramps, and supporting overall reproductive health.
 
Ambrette is prized in natural perfumery as a botanical substitute for animal musk and is often used in high-end fragrance compositions. It’s also popular in massage oils, sacred anointing rituals, and emotional healing blends. It blends exceptionally well with oils like sandalwood, rose, patchouli, neroli, frankincense, and jasmine and citrus oils such as bergamot and blood orange, enhancing its aromatic depth and therapeutic potential.
 
The oil is typically obtained through solvent or CO₂ extraction, as steam distillation is less effective in preserving its nuanced aroma. Once extracted, Ambrette oil is often aged to allow its fragrance to mellow and mature, resulting in a soft, sensual, and harmonizing oil ideal for both body and spirit.
 
Extraction Method: Solvent extraction from the part of the seeds
