Ambrette.
Soft, warm musk with a pear-like sweetness.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
Ambrette comes from musk mallow seed and it is the softest musk in common use: warm, slightly powdery, with a fruity sweetness that reads a little like pear or brandy. It is quiet and it sits very close to the skin.
It is used to make a fragrance feel like part of the wearer instead of a layer on top. Under florals it adds a soft, blurred finish; over woods it warms them without adding sweetness. It projects very little, which is the whole point of it.
