Smells of: warm amber
Role: fixative / base note

Ambrain opens with a rich, warm, and slightly sweet amber note that has a resinous quality, reminiscent of labdanum. As it develops, it reveals a deeper, more complex character with hints of woody and balsamic undertones, adding a luxurious depth to the fragrance. This material is effective at enhancing the longevity and richness of compositions, making it a reliable fixative that supports both floral and oriental accords. It pairs well with other warm notes like vanilla and tonka bean, as well as with spices for a more exotic feel. The typical usage in formulas ranges from 0.176% to 1.20%, with a common concentration around 0.630%.
