Ambroxan (Crystals)
Ambroxan is a highly powerful, substantive and stable amber note.
It is a synthetic fragrance molecule known for its warm, woody, musky, and slightly sweet scent.
It is widely used in perfumery as a modern replacement for natural ambergris, which was historically derived from sperm whales.

Commonly used for re-creating authentic ambergris notes in modern day perfumery.
Ambroxan is a crystallised solid in its pure form and concentrations of 10% and over can re-crystallise at room temperature, making it difficult to work with so if you are not comfortable working with this material in its pure form, we provide pre-dissolved solutions in DPG at 5% here and 10% here for your convenience.
Ambroxan Crystals provide a highly powerful, substantive and stable amber note.
Commonly used for re-creating authentic ambergris notes in modern day perfumery.
Ambroxan Crystals add a unique ‘effect’ to any perfume. Clean, crisp with a powdery depth; reminiscent of clean laundry.
For the untrained nose, Ambroxan may be difficult to detect in isolation.
