Ambrettolide: The macrocyclic musk that revolutionized modern perfumery
Ambrettolide represents the macrocyclic musk industry's most successful translation of a precious natural (ambrette seed absolute) into a sustainable, IFRA-compliant synthetic. At typical usage levels of 0.5-2%, it provides the characteristic ambrette exalting effect—lifting compositions while anchoring them with tenacious warmth—at approximately one-tenth the cost of natural absolute.
