Ambroxan

Ambroxan is a synthetic aroma chemical that replicates the prized qualities of natural ambergris. Derived from sclareol, a component of clary sage, it was developed as a sustainable alternative to harvesting rare marine ambergris. In fragrance composition, Ambroxan serves as a base note, providing exceptional longevity and projection whilst maintaining a luminous quality that doesn't overpower other accords.

The character of Ambroxan is distinctly modern: clean, dry, and mineral-forward, with subtle woody and musky undertones. It reads as salty and skin-like on the body, warming naturally with wear. Rather than the heaviness of traditional amber bases, Ambroxan offers a transparent sensuality that evolves gracefully with body heat, creating a persistent yet refined presence.
