EcoIngredient Compass®
Ambery, Dry Woods, Earthy
Intense and very tenacious sensual dry woody note with an elegant ambery facet. This High Definition version is cleaner and stronger than the regular Z11™.
Z11™ HD contains a minimum 95% of the best isomer (which is at least 3 times more than the regular quality). It is very useful to bring sensuality and linearity to fragrances.
Our extensive expertise in biotechnology enables us to use sustainable sugar fermentation, bio-conversion techniques, and advanced distillation to create high-quality sustainable ingredients from renewable carbon.
dsm-firmenich’s ambery family traces its origins to groundbreaking research in the 1930s, when the company began decoding the complex composition of ambergris, a rare and treasured perfumery ingredient. This pioneering work led to the synthesis of Ambrox® and Ambrinol in the 1950s, marking the foundation of modern amber notes and revolutionizing fine fragrance.
Originally made from Manool as a starting material, which was extracted from a tree (Manao) in New Zealand, now produced by biotechnology.
