About

Ambrostar is a Symrise amber-woody molecule, CAS 1357064-95-9. Two trade distributors describe it in the same four words: ambery, woody, warm, animalic. The amber-woody character leads and the animalic sits behind it as a nuance. It is a base material and it projects.

Scent Profile

Ambrostar smells of dry amber, warm and resinous rather than sweet. A dry, woody body carries most of the weight underneath, giving it structure rather than lightness. A faint animal warmth runs behind both. As a base material it sits deep in a composition and projects well.

Smell words come from published sources.

A given perfume with this note may use this material, or something else.

Origin

A captive synthetic from Symrise. Bulk Aroma lists it as a clear, colourless to pale yellow liquid and gives CAS 1357064-95-9. No public Symrise technical sheet with an olfactive description was found, so every scent word here comes from distributors rather than the maker.

Usage in Perfumery

A base-note amplifier for woody-amber accords. It gives dry warmth and projection, and the animalic nuance keeps it from reading as clean as ambroxan. Used at low levels in modern woody ambers where the aim is diffusion and length.
