Descriptions
Description
One of the most efficient macrocyclic musks. Even trace amounts in a composition
significantly enhance its fixation. It blends excellently with Exaltolide and
Ethylene Brassylate.

Odour (PerfumersWorld)
natural-musk ambrette-seed rich and extremely tenacious floral-muskysweet odour. Ambrettolide is used at 0.01% or less in alcoholic solutions tohelp soften the alcohol odour leaving a faint floral-musky sweet and pleasantodour. * Relative Odor Impact 30 * Odor Life on a smelling strip 450 hrs
Description (PerfumersWorld)
Ambrettolide is a rich but delicate animallic musk used in traces (from 0.01%)in all types where it adds diffusion warmth roundness. If overused it maysuppress top notes. An excellent blender-fixative. Note: many are anosmic to,i.e. unable to smell, ambrettolide.
Comment (FraterWork)
Ambrettolide (more accurately Iso Ambrettolide) is incredibly popular owing, in
large part, to its astonishing ability to soften the edges of alcohol. In traces
it has powerful fixative properties and in overdose it contributes a lovely soft
red fruit nuance (though some people may have difficulty smelling it due to the
size of the molecules). If you could only ever possess two musks, they would be
Exaltolide [https://fraterworks.com/products/exaltolide]® (from Firmenich) and
Ambrettolide (from IFF).
This IFF quality possesses a sweeter and more pronounced musk note to the
Givaudan type making it our preferred version.
According to Arctander: “[Ambrettolide] is one of the finest fixatives among the
distinguished group of those showing a synergistic and amplifying effect upon
perfumes and flavors. At the same time it increases the diffusiveness of
fragrances in which it is incorporated. Its fixative effect is easily recognized
by the fact that solutions of 0.01% Ambrettolide (or even less) in slightly
diluted alcohol show practically no odor of alcohol, only a faint, floral-musky,
sweet and pleasant odor of the lactone. Ambrettolide is particularly useful in
fragrance types of delicately floral, mildly animal or Ambre-like type.”
