Molecule 02 consists of the molecule AMBROXAN pure and singular. AMBROXAN has a subtle sensual quality with a radiant, long-lasting drydown.

It is a crystal with a chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries ambergris was perhaps the most prized ingredient in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance expelled by the cachalot or sperm whale which only attains its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean.

Ambergris is rarely found these days, and the amber in a modern fragrance will be a lab-created equivalent of some of the aroma-molecules that make up its scent. By far the finest of these is the nature-identical molecule, AMBROXAN. Ambergris was always valued for its refinement as well as its sensuality. This quality persists in AMBROXAN. It has a fresh almost mineral quality, says perfumer, Geza Schoen, that lingers into the drydown.

AMBROXAN was isolated from plant sources in 1950.
