Ambrocenide Crystals (Symrise)
Ambrocenide (Symrise Original, Pure Crystals) — "Best Amber-Woody Discovery Since Ambrox"
Ambrocenide, produced by Symrise, is the most potent molecule in the "super amber" category of the perfumery world. With its extraordinary radiance, its impactful effect even in microdoses, and its description as "an elegant, luminous dagger," it is an indispensable building block of modern luxury perfumery. Hammeyd stocks Symrise original Ambrocenide pure crystals in Turkey.
From a perfumery authority: The series Perfumery: Techniques in Evolution, published in Perfumer and Flavorist magazine, states: "Ambrocenide is the best discovery in the amber-woody family since Ambrox was commercialized. Ambrocenide's top note is radiant, diffusive, elegant, amber, woody — both precious and unique."
Massive impact in microdoses: Ambrocenide adds elegance and power to a fragrance even in the smallest traces; yet, it surprisingly remains balanced when used in overdose. It shines as radiance in the top note and acts as a powerful fixative in the base note — it is one of perfumery's rare "effective at every layer" molecules.
Product Information:
Ambrocenide delivers an extraordinarily powerful, bright woody-amber signature with distinct musky touches, a dry amber-like character, and shimmering radiance that spreads from top to bottom like an "elegant, luminous dagger."
It is a super amber molecule that provides exceptional brightness, volume, and fixation as a top-to-base enhancer in modern compositions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where to buy Ambrocenide in Turkey?
Hammeyd is an e-commerce store that regularly stocks Symrise original Ambrocenide pure crystals in Turkey. Shipping is available domestically and to selected international countries. Finding this niche molecule from an original source in Turkey is rare.
What is the difference between Ambrocenide and Ambrox?
Both provide an amber-woody character but are different molecules:
• Ambrox (and Ambrox Super, Ambroxan, Ambrofix) = CAS 6790-58-5. Mineral-marine, classic ambergris character. A more "rounded" amber.
• Ambrocenide = CAS 211299-54-6. Drier, woodier, more radiant. "Shimmering dagger" effect.
Professional perfumers often use them together — Ambrox builds the structure, Ambrocenide adds brightness and sharpness.
Ambrocenide is in pure crystal form, how do I use it?
Ambrocenide is in white crystal form. It is usually made fluid by diluting it to 10% in DPG or ethanol before use — this dilution facilitates accurate dosing and ensures proper distribution of the very potent molecule in the formula. It is possible to add pure crystal directly to the formula by weight, but dilution is recommended.
Is Ambrocenide a very expensive molecule?
The price per gram is high, but it is extremely economical in use. The average use is 0.82%, and the starting dose is at a micro-level. A 10-gram bottle can suffice for hundreds of formulas — therefore, in practice, it is a productive investment, not a luxury. If you are creating niche perfumery, it is a molecule that should be in your palette.
In which perfumes can we sense Ambrocenide?
Ambrocenide is a signature of modern niche perfumery. It stands out especially in luxury woody-amber compositions, orientals, and ambergris tones with a "skin scent" structure. As an example of overdose, the Amrita Millennium Mysore Sandal Soap demonstration formula is shown — it creates extraordinary depth when combined with sandalwood.
What should I blend Ambrocenide with?
Ambrocenide is compatible with almost all materials. Combinations where it performs particularly well:
• For amber structure: Absolute Ambergris, Ambrox Super
• For woody depth: Iso E Super, Sandexol, Miraclewood, Norlimbanol Dextro, Z11 MIP
• For texture: Cetonal, alpha/beta ionones
How long does Ambrocenide last?
It has an exceptional longevity of over 400 hours on a smelling strip. Even microdoses continue to take shape for weeks. It is one of the longest-lasting molecules in perfumery.
What is the price of Ambrocenide?
Current prices for 5g are visible in the variant selection above. For higher grammage purchases (wholesale / professional use), you can request a special price quote by emailing destek@hammeyd.com.
How should Ambrocenide be stored?
Store in its original packaging in a cool, dry, and dark place. Crystal form is sensitive to moisture; the lid must be tightly closed. When stored correctly, it maintains its quality for years.
