Ambroxan® Crystals Customer
Synonyms: Ambrox, Ambrox Super, Ambroxide Classification: Base Note[i]
Ambroxan is probably the most popular chemical in perfumes today. It has progressed from being dosed at 10% via the classic Fixateur base of Firmenich to being the central wood / amber material in many fragrances.
Admired by many perfumers for its warm, musky-amber scent and lasting depth, it was originally developed to mimic the fragrance of natural ambergris, but has since become valued for its stable and powerful diffusion. Ambroxan adds richness, helps with projection, and acts as a strong anchor that lingers on the skin. Its dry amber quality can also enhance or extend other notes in a composition, giving a perfume both lift and persistence without overpowering more delicate ingredients.
This version is our specially selected non-branded type, chosen for its wonderful sweetness and clarity but also its amazing price. This comes in flakes and is much nicer than any generic ambrox we've smelled.
We also stock Orcanox™, the V. MANE Fils version of Ambroxan taking the world by storm, Firmenich's Ambrox® Super and Givaudan's wonderful Ambrofix.
NOTE: Ambrofix, ambroxan, Ambrox®, Ambrox Super, and ambroxide are synonyms. They are simply different trade names for the same chemical though produced through different processes.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
