CEDROXYDE®

Cedarwood, Ambery, Dry Woods

A powerful and complex dry woody note, featuring vertical woody notes like cedarwood or patchouli, complemented by subtle ambery undertones.

This note can enhance a dry amber accord with a more pronounced woody facet. Suitable for chypre and oriental fragrances, it adds the woody aromatic effect typical of the chypre family. It's also ideal for fougère fragrances, imparting elegance and harmony.

Chemical synthesis corresponds to the construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones.
Our R&D follows the principles of Green chemistry whenever possible.

To offer alternatives to natural wood resources, dsm-firmenich scientists developed a range of more affordable, sustainable offerings. The first woody molecule introduced was Z11™ in 1961, then came POLYSANTOL®, the first sandalwood molecule in 1985.
