AMBROX® SUPER

Extremely powerful and elegant ambery odor with musky and woody tonalities.

From its discovery by Firmenich in the 1950’s to its breakthrough new production process via white biotechnology in 2016, AMBROX® SUPER delivers all the promises of sleek elegance and powerful iconic ambery signature.

Sparkling sensuality, AMBROX® SUPER offers musky and woody tonalities to the emblematic’ family of ambery ingredients.

Compared to CETALOX®, the profile of AMBROX® SUPER is more natural, more animalic, closer to ambregris in which it had been discovered (the profile of CETALOX® is more woody, dry).

AMBROX® SUPER is highly diffusive and brings a unique ambery effect from top notes to dry down.

Chemical synthesis corresponds to the construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones.
