Intense warm, woody note. SYLVAMBER invites to a new journey through cedar and amber notes.

The exceptional tenacity of this foundation brings elegance and sophistication to any composition.

dsm-firmenich uses the upcycled Turpentine extracted from the paper industry, often those that use softwood to manufacture cardboard. Derived originally from softwoods, this turpentine is valorized through a fractionation process in which we retrieve alpha and beta pinene, the two main molecules obtained from fractionated turpentine.

Chemical synthesis corresponds to the construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones.
Our R&D follows the principles of Green chemistry whenever possible.

The dsm-firmenich woody family originated in 1972 with the discovery of the captive ingredient Polywood® and in 1986 with the launch of Norlimbanol®, two groundbreaking molecules that set the standard for powerful, long-lasting woody and ambery notes. These innovations laid the foundation for a series of advancements, introducing sustainable and high-performance alternatives to traditional woody ingredients like patchouli and sandalwood.
