Amber Xtreme™

IFF: Amber woody ingredient that provides extraordinary performance to almost any fragrance type
The discovery of amber xtremetm in 2001 represents a triumph of structure-odor relationship intuition. it was a serendipitous discovery that manipulating galbanum molecules into an ether moiety could lead to molecules with an amber odor. pursuing this idea on diverse backbones, our scientists identified a plethora of new molecules. the insights gained from this unique structure-odor research led to the discovery of amber xtremetm, a uniquely powerful amber woody molecule. with expertise and perseverance, our chemists and process engineers developed a commercially viable process for amber xtremetm. a new star was born.
