Being exposed to musk ambrette through products — for example, by inhaling it — may cause the brain to release puberty-related hormones, the study, published in the journal Endocrinology, found.

Wow, that’s is an interesting effect! I wonder if it has any impact on menopausal symptoms…
Good question.
Yup.Don’t buy counterfeit perfumes!✌🏻
Why – what am I missing? It is in lots of fragrances.
OK, my mistake…IFRA recommends against its use so we are not seeing it in regular perfumes. So I do still see ambrette in note lists, and that must refer to natural ambrette seed which is not the same thing.
