Ambrox represents a group of fragrance compounds, including Ambroxan and Ambrein, known for their rich, warm, woody, and ambery characteristics.

They are often employed to impart depth and warmth to fragrances, typically occupying the base notes. These compounds are celebrated for their smooth, musky, and velvety qualities, enhancing the richness and longevity of scents.The use of synthetic Ambrox has become prevalent due to ethical, sustainability, and cost considerations associated with natural ambergris. Ambrox compounds blend harmoniously with a range of olfactory families, adding a luxurious and sophisticated nuance to fragrances.
