Abelmoschus

Abelmoschus, also known as musk mallow, is a plant-derived fragrance note with a rich, warm, and slightly powdery aroma. It originates from the seeds of the Abelmoschus esculentus plant, which is native to Africa and Asia. The seeds are dried and distilled to extract the essential oil used in perfumery.

Fragrances featuring Abelmoschus tend to evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and sophistication. The note can add a luxurious, sensual quality to a fragrance, making it suitable for evening wear or special occasions. It can also create a cozy, enveloping aroma that is well-suited for cooler weather or intimate settings.

Abelmoschus is commonly used as a heart or base note in fragrances, adding depth, warmth, and a subtle musky character. It pairs well with floral, woody, and spicy notes, and is often found in oriental, chypre, and amber-based perfumes.
