Ambroxan

À propos de cette matière

Ambroxan is probably the most popular chemical in perfumes today. It has progressed from being dosed at 10% via the classic Fixateur base of Firmenich to being the central wood / amber material in many fragrances. Admired by many perfumers for its warm, musky-amber scent and lasting depth, it was originally developed to mimic the fragrance of natural ambergris, but has since become valued for its stable and powerful diffusion. Ambroxan adds richness, helps with projection, and acts as a strong anchor that lingers on the skin. Its dry amber quality can also enhance or extend other notes in a composition, giving a perfume both lift and persistence without overpowering more delicate ingredients… — Fraterworks
