Amber Core is a member of the amber family but unlike the most common ones (Ambrocenide, AmberXTreme, Hydroxyambran and Operanide) it is far softer and easier to work with. Try it as an alternative to the more common wood chemicals like Cedramber which it is similar to in terms of strength. Previously able to be overdosed massively, it is now under a 1.3% restriction in IFRA 51 which is still rather generous. Amber Core blends beautifully with Operanide, Ambrocenide, florals (particularly light ones like Muguet and Lilac), and wood chemicals like Orbitone® T and Iso E Super. It is an excellent blender and is especially good at linking woods, amber and citrus materials. Amber Core features in Amouage Interlude Black Iris (0.8%), Amouage Memoir Women (0.9%), Creed Royal Oud (0.08%), YSL La Nuit de L'Homme Bleu Électrique (11%), and Gucci Pour Homme (10%).
