Musk Ambrette is the fruitiest of the nitro musks and the classical musk that blends best with floral notes. It has an astonishing power to tame and beautify large quantities of coumarin and tonka bean and so became something of a work horse (often in concert with Musk Xylene) in the fougère fragrances of the past. Edmond Roudnitska loved it so much that when he created Eau Sauvage for Dior (which contains no musks at all), he had a special version made with 10% Musk Ambrette. It was his private signature fragrance for the remainder of his life. Its most famous overdose was in the original Brut where it was used at 13% by Karl Mann for Fabergé in 1964. It is, however, effective at very small amounts. It blends beautifully with the other classic nitro musks which we also stock: Musk Xylene and Musk Ketone. IMPORTANT: Musk Xylene and Musk Ambrette are prohibited from fragrance use in most countries. At Fraterworks we do not use either of these musks in any of our products. We sell the musks solely so that fragrance aficionados can have access to all the materials of classical perfumery. This should not be used in production cosmetics or fragrances unless you are certain your target market allows it. NOTE: We package all high odour or high risk materials individually in separate heat sealed aluminium bags to mitigate any risk of cross-contamination.
