CETALOX® (AMBERGRIS NOTE)

Cetalox® is a synthetic fragrance material with an ambery smell and a pronounced woody character. It can lend warmth to a composition without requiring a sweet vanilla-and-resin accord. The ambergris reference places it in a family of perfumery materials developed through research into that natural substance; Cetalox itself is not a piece of natural ambergris or a complete reproduction of all its nuances.

Its maker describes uses ranging from light floral compositions to modern amber fragrances. The amount used and the materials around it affect how prominent the woody warmth becomes, so the same note can play different roles. It is useful to explore when you enjoy an ambery wood impression rather than expecting a fixed scent of sweetness, salt or musk. Raw-material performance does not guarantee the duration of a finished perfume.
