CETALOX®

Ambery, Woody

An extremely powerful and elegant ambery note with a strong woody character.

CETALOX® gives rich, elegant effects to all areas of perfumery from sheer florals to modern ambers.

Enhanced richness, warmth and depth can be achieved at lower dosages while, at higher levels, it provides exceptional substantivity and performance.

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

dsm-firmenich’s ambery family traces its origins to groundbreaking research in the 1930s, when the company began decoding the complex composition of ambergris, a rare and treasured perfumery ingredient. This pioneering work led to the synthesis of Ambrox® and Ambrinol in the 1950s, marking the foundation of modern amber notes and revolutionizing fine fragrance.

From AMBROX® to CETALOX®, a dsm-firmenich family of ingredients with history and legacy.
