Origin

Amberwood is a perfumery name for a family of woody-amber synthetics, not one material. Perfume pyramids use it for molecules such as Ambroxan, Iso E Super, Norlimbanol and Ambrocenide, blended into an accord. Symrise sells one material as Amberwood F, but it has a dry woody smell and is not what the note usually means.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Amberwood as a base note to impart depth, warmth, and longevity to compositions. It blends well with other woody, musky, and amber materials.
