Description

Dihydro Ambrettolide, also known as Hexadecanolide, is a refined macrocyclic musk with a soft, elegant and sensual character. Its odor profile features clean, warm, powdery, musky and skin-like facets, giving fragrance compositions a smooth and luxurious finish.

In perfumery, Dihydro Ambrettolide is valued for its excellent substantivity and soft diffusion. It can provide a natural-feeling musk effect without becoming overly sharp or synthetic, making it especially useful in sophisticated fine fragrances.

It works beautifully in white musk, floral, powdery, woody and skin-scent compositions. It can also round out a fragrance base and improve its persistence while adding a soft sensual character.

Perfumers' Tip

Dihydro Ambrettolide is excellent for creating a soft, elegant and skin-like musk base. Combine it with Ambrettolide or Exaltolide for a richer macrocyclic musk accord, or use it with Hedione and floral materials to create a radiant floral musk. Sandalwood and Ambroxan can add warmth and depth, while powdery materials can emphasize its soft, sensual character.
