"Why Does Everyone Hate Ambroxan Ambroxan/Ambroxide is one of the most important and ubiquitous ingredients used in modern perfumery. Synthesised from clary sage it provides a cheap and plentiful ambergris replacement. Although it does not fully replicate the depth and complexity of real ambergris it still acts as a backbone to many fragrances providing diffusiveness longevity freshness and smoothness.
