CAS 6790-58-5 · Amber · Ambergris · Not restricted by IFRA
Ambermor is IFF's ambroxide, the same molecule widely known as Ambroxan. It is the dry, woody ambergris note behind modern amber and 'skin scent' perfumes, famous for its radiance and extraordinary staying power.
What it smells like
Dry, woody ambergris with a warm, slightly salty-mineral skin quality. Clean rather than sweet, and extremely tenacious.
How perfumers use it
Dissolve the crystals first; a 10% stock in ethanol, DPG or benzyl benzoate is convenient. Ambermor anchors amber, woody and musky bases and pairs classically with Iso E Super and a clean musk. It also adds depth and longevity to fresh and aquatic fragrances.
Blends well with: Iso E Super, Galaxolide, Hedione, Cedramber, Musk T.
