Докладно
Цікавий факт
Ambergris is thought to be produced only by sperm whales, and only by an estimated one percent of them. In 2021, fishermen found a 127 kg piece of ambergris off the coast of Yemen, valued at US$1.5 million.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Ambrofix is produced by a multi-step bioconversion process that starts from sugar cane. Traditionally, it can be produced from a natural starting material derived from clary sage. Ambroxide is synthesized from sclareol, a component of the essential oil of clary sage. Sclareol is oxidatively degraded to a lactone, which is hydrogenated to the corresponding diol. The resulting compound is dehydrated to form ambroxide. A newer patented method uses homofarnesol as the raw material and was stated to require 100 times less agricultural surface than the traditional method from clary sage.

У парфумерії
The most prominent use of ambroxide is in fine fragrance, where it serves simultaneously as a base note and a fixative. It clings to skin, fabric, and hard surfaces and persists for many hours, which is the basis of its role as a fixative. Ambrofix is used at levels from traces up to 2%.
