Description :
Alpha-Ambrinol (molecular formula C15H26O) is a naturally occurring aromatic alcohol widely used in the fragrance and aroma industry. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a warm, ambery, and slightly woody scent, resembling natural ambergris. Alpha-Ambrinol is insoluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and diethyl ether, making it suitable for perfumes, cosmetics, and aroma chemical synthesis. This compound is valued for its ability to enhance the longevity and depth of fragrances, acting as a base note stabilizer in complex perfume formulations. It is often combined with related aroma chemicals like Muskolide and Geranyl Caproate for balanced, long-lasting compositions.
Provides a warm, ambery, and woody base note in perfumes, colognes, and body sprays. Often blended with Anisyl Acetate and Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde to stabilize delicate fragrances and improve longevity.
Used in lotions, creams, and deodorants to impart a rich, warm scent, enhancing the aromatic profile of products.
Serves as an intermediate in aroma chemical synthesis, contributing to amber, woody, and musky notes in flavor and fragrance research.
Applied in R&D labs for perfume formulations and chemical derivatization, often paired with Cedryl Acetate or Amyl Salicylate for complex aroma profiles.
