Ambergris
Ambergris exudes a unique, marine-woody scent with warm, animalic undertones. It has a slightly sweet, musky quality that adds depth and smoothness to fragrances. Historically valued as a luxurious fixative, ambergris enhances the longevity and complexity of a perfume, making it a prized ingredient in high-end and niche fragrances.
History & Production: Ambergris is a rare substance formed in the digestive systems of sperm whales. Once washed ashore, it undergoes a long process of oxidation, which develops its complex scent profile. Due to ethical concerns, natural ambergris is now seldom used, with synthetic alternatives like Ambroxan and Ambrofix offering similar olfactory qualities in modern perfumery.
