Ambreine

Ambreine is a key aromatic compound derived from ambergris, a natural secretion from sperm whales. Ambergris has a complex scent profile that evolves from its initial earthy, marine odours due to prolonged exposure to the sun and saltwater. Over time, it develops rich, sweet, warm notes reminiscent of tobacco and wood, which are central to the allure of ambreine.

In perfumery, ambreine is highly valued for its excellent fixative properties, meaning it helps stabilize other fragrance notes and prolong the scent of the perfume on the skin. Its musky, slightly animalic tones blend well with various notes, adding depth and warmth to create sophisticated, luxurious fragrances. Ambreine is typically used in the formulation of oriental and woody perfumes, contributing to their lingering, opulent trails.
