Ambroxan is a modern woody-amber icon-often described as the contemporary “soul” of ambergris. In fine white crystals, it delivers a warm, dry, clean elegance that anchors both classic and modern compositions. The scent opens soft and slightly waxy-amber with a whisper of mineral sea breeze, then settles into a crisp, luminous dry woodiness.

What sets Ambroxan apart is its outstanding diffusion and longevity. It casts a refined, radiant aura without sharp edges. In the base, Ambroxan acts as the “skeleton” that stabilizes structure, clarifies floral, citrus, and resinous facets, and ties the whole accord together-one reason it’s an indispensable backbone material in many perfumers’ palettes.

Technically, Ambroxan (CAS: 6790-58-5) has a very low odor threshold, so modest doses are effective. It is heat-stable, substantive on skin and fabric, and resists being masked by stronger notes. With broad compatibility across most olfactive families, Ambroxan suits fine fragrance, body mists, candles, and low-alcohol bases.

SCENT’s Ambroxan is selected for high purity, a clear and clean odor profile, and easy solubility in ethanol and common perfumery solvents. Store tightly sealed, away from moisture and direct light, to maintain crystal integrity and optimal olfactory quality.

Safety & compliance: Ambroxan is generally not subject to strict IFRA restrictions at typical use levels; nevertheless, always verify against the latest IFRA amendment for your specific product category and conduct in-house stability/irritation tests before production.
