Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Ambretone® is more famously known as Velvione® by Givaudan but what most
perfumers don't know is that Ambretone came first and is the superior quality of
Velvione®. In all cases you should dispose of Velvione and use Ambretone®
exclusively. While Velvione® is pure Cyclohexadecen-5-one, Velvione also
contains some Cyclohexadecen-6-one which diminishes its beauty and power.
Ambretone® is a macrocyclic musk that behaves similarly to dextro-Muscenone (the
captive pure form of Muscenone) and finds applications in very much the same
areas. Ambretone®, however, is less animalic and has nuances of ambrette seed. A
particular radiance occurs when blending Ambretone with genuine Hedione
[https://fraterworks.com/products/hedione]®.
Ambretone® makes up fully 8.5% of Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle.
Ambretone® is also closely related to the cheaper Globanone
[https://fraterworks.com/products/globanone] (Cyclohexadec-8-en-1-one), which is
slightly less animal and, in my opinion, less elegant.
This product is often solid at room temperature and requires a slight amount of
warming to liquify.
