Description: Ambifix is a highly powerful, highly substantive and highly stable ambery note. It is the most suitable material to deliver an authentic Ambregris note. It also brings a woody sensuality to the composition and can be easily overdosed. It is the most widely used and most biodegradable ambery molecule. Traditionally, It can be produced from a natural starting material derived from clary sage. Purenso has developed a completely unique multi-step bio-conversion process to produce Ambifix starting from sugar cane. One of the most useful chemicals in modern perfumery.
Why we use in formulation: Ambifix Powder is often found in fragrance formulations where it adds depth, richness, and longevity to the scent. Additionally, it can also be used in cosmetics and personal care products to impart a subtle fragrance or enhance the overall sensory experience.

Note: Ambifix Powder will dissolve reliably in ethanol up to about 10% in a warm room, but it takes a lot of agitation: we don’t heat the solution (heating alcohol creates a fire risk) but we do use an automatic stirrer because it takes so long: be prepared to do a lot of shaking or stirring if you don’t have a machine to do it for you, or alternatively select from our 5% in DPG and 10% in DEP pre-disolved options.
