Ambroxan is an isolated ingredient that perfumers often refer to as a wonder molecule. It’s a natural ingredient that comes from clary sage and you’ll find it included in varying concentrations in so many bestselling fragrances that we decided to explore the wealth of different ways it’s utilised in the range of brands we stock.
Not only is ambroxan one of the most important active ingredients in ambergris (one of the most expensive and sought after natural materials used in perfumery) but it is also an ingredient that universally, almost everyone likes the smell of. In a blend ambroxan extends fleeting ingredients whilst also acting as an olfactive magnifying glass, glazing over top notes and making them shine whilst also rounding out the overall punch of a perfume.
Still Life is a great example of a perfume that uses ambroxan as a big component of its base (alongside cedarwood and rum) which showcases the molecule’s more woody properties wonderfully.
Whilst it might smell quite sweet, aqueous and watery, Aube Pashmina owes a healthy portion of it’s hearty twang to the strength of ambroxan.
In a perfume dedicated to sun reflecting off many surfaces on a summer day ambroxan adds that runaway sparkle.
In this perfume ambroxan introduces the effect of dust escaping from the box with frankincense pieces, in a way adding volume and movement to otherwise quite a heavy note.
