A bit expensive for something so mild

I'm not sure if I just got a funny batch, as I've never used ambrette before. I was really looking forward to this one, but unfortunately it smelled like hardly anything at all. The faint smell that was there was lovely, but I just don't see this being economical to use in my perfumes.

That being said, eOil otherwise never disappoints, and utmost care is taken with their delivery and packaging.

Hi Tara, Thank you for all the good reviews for our products and your kind interest ! regarding this specific one, as mentioned in the description tab of this essential oil, Ambrette seed oil is often used as a Base note, as a fixative and a lifter. It is and excellent smooth blender to bridge other powerful base notes ( sandalwoods, Benzoin, vanilla, other resins etc.. ) with middle notes and add just a hint of 'soft spicy sophistication' . Ambrette is both intense AND subtle, and has a long lasting signature. So, not an overpowering presence but definitively there and worth its use in Natural perfumes. Of course, ambrette being a seed extract cannot compete with Animal extracts, if one is accustomed to using them ( Ambergris or their synthetic equivalents ...) hence it's name Ambre-'ette'  -light amber. Give it a try in your composition and you might appreciate it !

irresistable

As a perfumer, I've used synthetic ambrettolide a lot. It's one of my favourite musks, and I never really considered trying real ambrette because I thought that a. I didn't need it and b. I would never find it in SA. eOil proved me wrong twice with this incredible material. It's just... wow. Complex, inviting, warm, woody, musky. It's interesting enough to wear on its own, and at this price you could totally make this your signature scent, or make it a staple in your perfumery palette.
