Understanding the material
IFF identifies seeds as the source of its ambrette oil and describes musky, powdery and cognac-like aspects. Ambrette is not amber or ambergris despite the similar spelling. A finished fragrance can create a musk effect with other materials, and an ambrette note does not certify the complete formula as natural, vegan or free of a particular ingredient.
Compare ambrette with orris and a soft musky fragrance. Is the softness floral, seed-like, powdery or more rounded? Keep sweetness separate from projection.
