Botanical informations
Botanical name :
Abelmoschus moschatus (L.) Medik.
Synonyms : Abelmoschus cucurbitaceus Walp. // Hibiscus cardiophyllus Baill.
Botanical profile :
Ambrette comes from an Indian variety of Hibiscus and belongs to the Malvaceae family and the genus Abelmoschus Medik.
Chemotypes :
The genus Abelmoschus Medik. groups nearly 19 species. However, ambrette is the only hibiscus seed cultivated for its olfactory interest.
Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
The obtention of the ambrette seeds absolute results from a first hydrodistillation, then from a reprocessing with alcohol, as its essential oil contains a high rate of fatty acids. This is why we often speak of ambrette butter, like Orris Root Butter, with the appearance of a colourless to pale yellow paste.
Fatty acids are eliminated with alcohol because they are poorly soluble. A glazing process allows to get rid of it by subjecting the butter to a temperature of 32 °F.
Uses in perfumery :
Used in fine fragrance to nuance the notes of white flowers as well as for its highly sought-after sweet facet.
Stability :
