Why Choose Ambrettolide?

If you’re looking to infuse your fragrances with a luxurious softness and natural musk elegance, Ambrettolide by IFF is a top-tier choice. It delivers that elusive "clean skin" effect sought after in premium perfumery and performs exceptionally well in both complex and minimalist formulations.

Perfumer’s Tip:

Use Ambrettolide to soften harsh edges in woody, floral, or aldehydic compositions. Combine it with iris, sandalwood, ambroxan, or hedione to create luminous, musky skin scents with addictive sillage. A small dose can dramatically elevate the overall sophistication of your blend.
