Ambroxan – Warm, Ambery, Skin-Like Base Note for Long-Lasting Perfumes

Ambroxan is a highly valued aroma chemical in perfumery, known for its smooth, warm, musky-amber scent with a subtle woody and marine undertone. Derived from sclareol (found in clary sage), Ambroxan replicates the luxurious and deep nuances of natural ambergris—making it a sustainable, powerful fixative and base note in modern fragrance design.

Its exceptional longevity, skin affinity, and diffusion make it a backbone in designer perfumes and niche compositions. Ambroxan enhances other notes without overpowering them, adding a clean warmth and a “second-skin” effect. Ideal in woody, musky, marine, and amber accords, it blends seamlessly with ingredients like Iso E Super, Cashmeran, and citrus notes.

• Long-lasting fixative and base note enhancer
