Amberwood® F (Symrise)

Description

A profoundly elegant and diffusive woody amber material. Its profile unfolds with a distinctively dry, almost dusty woody tonality, reminiscent of cedarwood, while carrying the sophisticated warmth of classic ambergris. This signature belongs to Amberwood® F, a key ingredient in modern perfumery. Developed by Symrise as a high-purity isomer within the esteemed dodecahydro-tetramethylnaphthalofuran family, it offers a cleaner and more intense profile than many of its counterparts, establishing it as a pillar for creating refined and contemporary woody accords.

In formulations, its primary role is to provide exceptional substantivity and structure to a fragrance composition. Even at low dosages, typically from a trace amount up to 2 percent, Amberwood® F imparts a remarkable lift and a long-lasting, clean woody foundation that persists for hundreds of hours. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from fine fragrances to luxury home and fabric care. It pairs exceptionally well with floral notes, where it adds a transparent woody depth, and synergizes beautifully with citrus, musks, and other woody materials to create a cohesive and tenacious dry-down.
