It cushions flowers, softens woody structures and connects fruity notes with a musky base. Its effect is often about texture and diffusion rather than an obvious separate smell.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Ambrettolide is a macrocyclic musk aroma material. It is associated with the scent chemistry of ambrette seeds, but its listing does not mean that natural ambrette seed extract is used.
