EcoIngredient Compass®
Ambery, Dry Woods, Earthy
Intense and very tenacious sensual dry woody note with an elegant ambery facet. This High Definition version is cleaner and stronger than the regular Z11™.
Z11™ HD contains a minimum 95% of the best isomer (which is at least 3 times more than the regular quality). It is very useful to bring sensuality and linearity to fragrances.
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.
Originally made from Manool as a starting material, which was extracted from a tree (Manao) in New Zealand, now produced by biotechnology.
