Real Musk (from deer) is illegal. Synthetic Musk (Polycyclic) is polluting the oceans. Where does a luxury natural perfumer turn for that sensual, skin-like sensuality? There is only one botanical answer: Ambrette Seed (Abelmoschus moschatus).

Triefta Aroma Nusantara offers the CO2 Extract of Ambrette Seed. This is the pinnacle of plant-based luxury. It is rare, expensive, and smells indistinguishably close to human skin.

The Chemistry: Ambrettolide Ambrette contains a macrocyclic musk called Ambrettolide.

  • The Scent: It is floral-musky, slightly nutty, with undertones of cognac and pear. It is incredibly tenacious.
  • The "Skin Scent" Effect: In 2026, the trend is "Your Skin But Better." Ambrette doesn't smell like perfume; it smells like clean, warm, aroused skin. It blends with the wearer's own pheromones.

CO2 vs. Steam Distillation Why do we specify CO2 extraction?

  • Steam Distillation: Heat destroys the delicate fatty acids in the seed, resulting in a "nutty/fatty" smell that lacks sparkle.
  • CO2 Extraction (Triefta): Uses low temperature. It captures the sparkling, wine-like top notes and the deep musk base notes. It is the full, holographic representation of the seed.

The Cost of Ethics Ambrette is low yield. It takes a massive amount of dried seeds to get a small amount of extract.

  • Market Positioning: Using Ambrette allows a brand to claim "100% Botanical Musk" and "Vegan Luxury." This justifies a significantly higher price point to the ethical consumer who refuses to compromise on quality or conscience.

Conclusion True luxury is rare. In a sea of synthetic white musks, Ambrette Seed stands alone as the botanical aristocrat. Give your fragrance a soul with Triefta’s Ambrette Seed CO2.
