Ambrostar™ (Symrise)

What does Ambrostar smell like?

Symrise's datasheet gives the odour axes as amber, wood, warm amber and animalic, and calls it a very powerful and long-lasting base note that creates a unique warm and gentle woody-ambery profile. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow acetal that smells like a dry, radiant super-amber with an animalic undertow, and the house note that it intensifies the typical characteristics of oud notes. In a formula it is a trace material: the successor to Ambrocenide and far stronger, a fraction of a percent pushes amber-woody diffusion and blotter life past almost anything else on the shelf, so it goes in last and sparingly or it flattens everything around it.
