Ambroxan (also known as Ambroxide) is a high-value synthetic aroma compound widely used in fine fragrances. It is a modern alternative to natural ambergris and is known for its warm, amber, woody, and musky odor profile. Ambroxan 10% (DPG) is a fragrance ingredient solution used in perfumery. Ambroxan 10% (DPG) is commonly used by perfumers as a long-lasting amber fixative to enhance the performance and sophistication of a fragrance composition.
What does Ambroxan do in perfume?
Fragrance Fixative: Helps slow down evaporation of volatile fragrance notes, extending perfume longevity.
Amber Note Provider: Adds a warm, sweet, ambery, woody character to the fragrance.
Enhances Depth & Richness: Gives perfumes a smooth, elegant, and sophisticated dry-down.
Improves Projection & Longevity: Helps the fragrance remain noticeable on skin for a longer period.
Blending Agent: Improves harmony between different fragrance components.
Why is it diluted in DPG?
DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) is used as a carrier solvent to:
Make Ambroxan easier to handle and measure.
Improve blending with other fragrance materials.
Allow more accurate dosing in perfume formulations.
Reduce the need to dissolve solid Ambroxan crystals separately.
