What is white musk?
Ambrette is considered as the natural white musk, the best musk substitute from the botanical world. It’s also called vegetable musk.
Ambrette is typically the seeds of hibiscus species, botanically known as Hibiscus Abelmoschus. It has a soft, sweet, woody, and sensual scent that is very similar to Animal Musk.
Though Musk Deers can be farmed nowadays rather than hunted, their musk pouch can be surgically removed without killing them, it’s very hard to collect as it is scarce and illegal in most countries. Besides, cutting the musk pouch from a living Musk Deer raises huge ethical questions in the entire natural perfumery industry.
Ambrette or natural white musk is a great substitute for both true animal musk and synthetic musk (often called white musk). This botanical note can be derived from hibiscus plants rather than harming the endangered Musk Deer.
Ambrette seeds can be an alternative of musks either on their own for their light, delicate, and subtle musky fragrance, or other absolutes and darker oils can be blended to produce a more intense “animalistic musk accord” including Vetiver, Labdanum, Patchouli, and Sandalwood.
