Molecular Formula: C16H28O
CAS No: 6790-58-5
Ambergris, harvested from the intestines of sperm whales, is famous for its enchanting scent. This organic wonder releases a complex, sweet fragrance that endures for months and has been a luxury sought after by royals and aristocrats throughout the ages. Nevertheless, because of the sperm whale's endangered status, synthetic ambergris is emerging as a viable sustainable alternative.

Discover the Luxury Ambergris
Ambergris, extracted from the sperm whale's intestines, is renowned for its captivating fragrance. This natural treasure emits a rich, sweet aroma that last for months, a symbol of luxury desired by royalty and nobility throughout history. However, due to the endangered status of the sperm whale, synthetic ambergris is becoming the way for a sustainable alternative.
Unveiling Ambroxide
Modern research illuminated ambroxide as the primary aromatic essence found in ambergris, renowned for its exceptional fixative properties. Recognized as the pinnacle among synthetic ambergris fragrances, ambroxide serves as a natural alternative to ambergris, offering unparalleled quality and performance. The illustrious "Ambergris effect" of ambroxide markedly enhances fragrance diffusion, rendering it a coveted ingredient in premium perfumes and cosmetics. With its non-irritating on the skin, it's suitable for the fragrance of skin, hair, and fabrics, including soap, talcum powder, cream, and shampoo. Moreover, ambroxide lends its aromatic charm to the tobacco industry, seamlessly complementing the distinctive aroma of cigarettes and enriching the flavor profile of Oriental-type tobaccos.
Innovation in Synthesis
Wuhan Hesheng Technology Co., Ltd. has pioneered a novel biosynthetic route for the production of ambroxide, a high-value fragrance compound traditionally limited by scarce raw materials and complex chemical synthesis. Through advanced synthetic biology techniques, we have innovated full-chain biosynthetic pathways, enabling the conversion from sclareol to sclareolide and ultimately to ambroxide. This breakthrough not only addresses material limitations but also significantly enhances production efficiency and commercial scalability.
Sustainable Biosynthetic Pathway: Natural Sclareol → Sclareolide → High-Purity (-)-Ambroxide Compared to traditional chemical synthesis, our bio-fermentation process is 100% eco-friendly, stable in supply, and free from harsh chemical residues.

We supply high-purity (-)-Ambroxide (≥99%) in a stable crystalline powder form. This ensures exceptional fragrance quality and excellent solubility as a fixative.
Unlike traditional whale-derived ambergris or complex chemical synthesis, Hesheng utilizes advanced biosynthesis. We convert natural Sclareol into Sclareolide, and then to Ambroxide, ensuring a sustainable and cost-effective supply.
Yes. Ambroxide is the primary aromatic component of ambergris. Our bio-based version provides the identical "ambergris effect"—an elegant, woody, and sweet scent with superior fixative properties, but without the ethical and supply concerns of whale-derived products.
