What is Ambroxane CAS 6790-58-5?

Ambroxane is an amber-woody aroma chemical also called Ambroxan or Ambroxide. It is identified by CAS 6790-58-5, EC 229-861-2, molecular formula C16H28O, and molecular weight about 236.39.

What does Ambroxane smell like?

It has a powerful ambergris-type odor with amber, woody, musky, and slightly animalic character. The material is highly diffusive and long-lasting, so it is commonly used as a fixative or base note in perfume compositions.

Where is Ambroxane used?

Ambroxane is used in fine fragrance, perfume compounds, personal care fragrances, home care, air care, and functional perfumery. It appears in woody, amber, oriental, marine, and modern ambergris-style accords.

What are the typical physical properties of Ambroxane?

It is normally supplied as a white crystalline powder, flakes, or solid with a melting point around 70-77 C and density around 0.94 g/cm3. Water solubility is very low; it is soluble in ethanol and common perfumery solvents.

Is Ambroxane the same as natural ambergris?

No. Ambroxane is a synthetic or aroma-chemical substitute inspired by natural ambergris, not the natural animal-derived material itself. Its CAS 6790-58-5 should be confirmed when comparing Ambroxan, Ambroxide, or similar trade-name products.

How should Ambroxane be stored and handled?

Store it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, direct sunlight, and moisture. Use suitable PPE, avoid dust formation, and confirm the offered grade, odor profile, purity, and packaging before fragrance compounding.

Ambroxane CAS 6790-58-5

Ambroxane is a specialty fragrance ingredient used in perfume, aroma chemical, and fragrance compound applications where amber, woody, and long-lasting odor character is required. As a supplier and manufacturer for industrial fragrance sourcing, we support bulk supply, standard packaging, sample discussion, and documentation including COA, TDS, and SDS / MSDS based on supply requirements. Application suitability should be confirmed through formulation evaluation and end-use testing. Galaxolide is a related long-lasting fragrance material to compare where a musk note is required instead of an amber-woody profile.
