Ambrox is used in perfumery as a base note. The molecule permits extending the trail, while adding incomparable smoothness and sensuality. It has a very complex fragrance with musky, woody, almost animal tones. For some, it recalls the skin, for others, it recalls the amber-like character of labdanum, or clary sage
Created in the 50's as a replacement for natural ambergris, synthesized from sclareol, a component of the essential oil of clary sage, Ambroxan is a very faceted, deep and complex molecule with a musky clean amber woody note. Ambroxan is said to be the most sensual molecule.
