How to Use Ambrette Essential Oil

1. Aromatherapy Diffuser:
Add 3–5 drops to your diffuser or vaporizer to create a relaxing, mood-boosting, and musky atmosphere. Blends beautifully with rose, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, and bergamot.

2. DIY Perfume:
Craft your own vegan musk perfume by blending 1–3 drops of Ambrette essential oil with other floral or citrus oils. Dilute in a carrier oil (like jojoba or almond) at no more than 10% max (1ml or 20 drops per 10ml carrier). Apply to pulse points.

3. Massage Oil:
Mix 3–10 drops with 10ml of carrier oil for a warming, relaxing massage; effective for easing tension and muscle stiffness. For facial or sensitive areas, limit dilution to 0.5–2%.

4. Skincare & Haircare:
Add 1–2 drops to your moisturizer, serum, or shampoo to soothe skin, balance oils, and promote scalp health. Always start with a patch test.

5. Bath Soak:
Mix 5–10 drops into your bathwater (pre-mix in a carrier oil or bath salt for even dispersion) for deep relaxation and musky aromatics.

6. Room or Linen Spray:
Combine 10–20 drops in a spray bottle with distilled water and a little vodka or alcohol for a natural air or linen spray with sensual, uplifting notes.

7. Candles & Soaps:
Add desired drops to melted candle wax or soap blends for a vegan, musky scent that lingers.

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 !

Beautiful

Wow - one oil that smells like a perfume all by itself. Really beautiful.

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.
