Sylvamber

About this material

Sylvamber belongs to the Iso E Super family — all variations of the same base molecule produced by different manufacturers through different processes. The differences between them come down to the ratio of two key isomers: arborone and Iso Gamma. Understanding this is essential to choosing the right one. Arborone is the main odour vector. The primary isomer in Iso E Super is almost odourless — it was discovered in 1990 that a minor impurity, arborone, is roughly 100,000 times more potent and accounts for most of what you actually smell. Arborone delivers an intense, woody, slightly animalic character. Iso Gamma contributes the warm, amber, velvety facet that gives these materials their radi… — Fraterworks
