Ambrarome (also known as Ambrarome Absolute) is one of the oldest bases still made and sold by the same company that created it (Synarome). It was created in 1926 by Hubert Fraysse (co-founder of the company with his brother George) and was key to Arpège, created his brother André Fraysse who was the chief perfumer of Lanvin. Ambrarome is an intensely animalic base with a strong character of ambergris, noble labdanum fractions and aspects of leather. In fact, it was the first speciality product designed to replicate the then-already expensive ambergris. It was followed later by specialities from competing companies such as Grisambrol and Grisambrene by Firmenich. François Coty loved Ambrarome so much that upon smelling it for the first time that he reformulated his great Chypre to include it (and at the same time removed Musk Ambrette and increased the Musk Ketone). Due to the thickness and odour strength of this material we are offering it at 50% diluted in TEC as well as pure.
