Ambroxide (Sym) is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume and air fresheners.

Use

The smell of Ambroxide (Sym) is difficult to place. Perfumers call this fragrance direction 'Amber', a somewhat sweet, but also animal scent. It is also one of the odor aspects of ambergris, an almost legendary fragrance. The scent is strong, and certainly capable of overpowering other scents. It is also a solid (powdered) substance. It is therefore advisable to make a dilution of, for example, 10% in IPM. Solvents like DPG and TEC do not make a stable 10% solution, in this case.

You usually use between 0.1% and 5% of this substance in the fragrance composition. More is not a problem, it is not a hazardous substance, but then the perfume will mainly smell of Ambroxide and not of anything else.

Is that bad? The perfume Molecule 02 from Escentric Molecules apparently only contains this molecule as fragrance. We know many fans of this perfume. If you want to recreate it, this is a good recipe to start with:

• Ambroxide 1 gram
• Cosmetic hair water 100 ml

Mix and put in a perfume bottle. With the above recipe you can, for example, fill 3 Quadro bottles or 2 Leandro bottles.

Properties

Ambroxide (Sym) is a solid that we sell in the form of flakes. It dissolves in many common fragrances and solvents. The purity is at least 99%. Ambroxide has a long shelf life. Manufacturer of this synthetic fragrance is the German Symrise. Other suppliers make the same molecule and sell it as Ambroxan, Ambrox and some other names. We have chosen the Symrise product because it is a very good quality and Symrise ensures that there is not too much difference in smell between one delivery and the other. Apart from this somewhat higher quality, there is no relevant difference between the various ambroxide-like substances from the different manufacturers.

Packaging

The 5 g pack is in a brown colored plastic (PET) bottle with a white plastic (PP) cap. The other packaging is in white plastic (PP) pots.

Dangers

Ambroxide (Sym) is not classified as a hazardous substance (REACH/CLP). Nevertheless, we recommend that you also handle this substance with care. Keep out of reach of children.
