Ambroxan 10% IPM
a pre-diluted fragrance material designed for convenient use in fine fragrance, attar, perfume compounds, incense, agarbatti, dhoop, bakhoor, room fresheners and other fragrance applications.
It provides a characteristic ambery, woody, musky, warm and clean drydown with excellent substantivity. The 10% dilution in Isopropyl Myristate (IPM) makes the material easier to dose, blend and incorporate compared with handling neat Ambroxan.
Ambroxan is widely valued in modern perfumery for its ability to contribute amber depth, persistence, fixation and diffusion. In incense applications, it can help reinforce the drydown and extend the perceived life of the fragrance on the burning and post-burn substrate.
Recommended application: use according to the requirements of the finished fragrance formulation and conduct compatibility, stability and performance testing before commercial production.

Important Technical Note
Ambroxan 10% IPM is not the same as neat Ambroxan. A 10% solution contains approximately:
| Component | Approx. |
|---|---|
| Ambroxan | 10% |
| IPM | 90% |
Therefore, 100 g of this solution provides approximately 10 g of Ambroxan active material.
For example, if your formula requires 2 g of pure Ambroxan, approximately 20 g of a 10% solution would provide that amount of active Ambroxan, subject to the actual assay/specification of the supplied material.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Ambroxan 10% IPM?
Ambroxan 10% IPM is a pre-diluted fragrance solution containing approximately 10% Ambroxan in Isopropyl Myristate (IPM). It is designed for easier handling and controlled incorporation into fragrance formulations.
2. What does Ambroxan smell like?
Ambroxan has a characteristic warm, clean, amber, woody and slightly musky odour profile with excellent persistence.
3. What is the function of Ambroxan in perfume?
It can provide amber body, depth, substantivity and long-lasting drydown and is commonly used as part of modern base structures.
4. Can Ambroxan 10% IPM be used in agarbatti?
Yes. It can be incorporated into agarbatti and incense fragrance compounds, subject to compatibility and burn-performance testing.
5. Can it be used for dhoop and bakhoor?
Yes. It can be evaluated in dhoop, dhoop cones, bakhoor and other incense fragrance systems where an amber-woody drydown is desired.
6. Is Ambroxan 10% IPM the same as pure Ambroxan?
No. Ambroxan 10% IPM is a diluted solution, whereas pure Ambroxan is the undiluted fragrance material.
7. What is IPM?
IPM stands for Isopropyl Myristate, a commonly used fragrance/cosmetic carrier and solvent that can be used to prepare diluted fragrance materials.
8. How much Ambroxan is present in 100 g?
At a nominal 10% concentration, 100 g contains approximately 10 g Ambroxan and 90 g IPM.
9. Can Ambroxan 10% IPM improve fragrance longevity?
It can contribute to persistence and substantivity, but the final performance depends on the complete fragrance composition, dosage, substrate and application method.
10. Can it be used directly in a perfume?
It can be used as a raw material in a perfume formulation, but the appropriate concentration depends on the fragrance formula and regulatory requirements. Compatibility and stability testing should be performed.
11. Is Ambroxan a top, middle or base note?
Ambroxan is primarily used as a base-note material, particularly for amber, woody and musky drydown structures.
12. Can Ambroxan be used with Iso E Super, Galaxolide and Hedione?
Yes. These materials can be combined in fragrance formulation, but the ratio should be determined according to the intended fragrance DNA, performance and cost target rather than treating Ambroxan as a universal fixative.
13. How should Ambroxan 10% IPM be stored?
Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, protected from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Follow the supplier’s SDS for specific storage requirements.
14. Is Ambermor EX another name for Ambroxan?
Do not assume this solely from the trade name. If your supplier markets the material as Ambermor EX, verify its COA, SDS, CAS number and composition before publishing it as chemically equivalent to Ambroxan.
15. Who can buy Ambroxan 10% IPM?
It is suitable for perfume manufacturers, agarbatti manufacturers, dhoop manufacturers, attar makers, fragrance compounders, incense producers and other professional fragrance formulators.
