| About the compound: | Trans-alpha-Ambrinol is an organic compound related to odorant molecules that evoke the scent of ambergris, a substance historically used in perfumery, derived from the digestive system of sperm whales. This molecule has a tricyclic structure, with "trans" indicating a specific geometric isomerism and "alpha" representing a particular positional isomer. As a molecule associated with ambergris, trans-alpha-Ambrinol likely possesses aromatic properties, capturing the unique, musky, and marine-like odor of ambergris. While ambergris is a natural substance, molecules like trans-alpha-Ambrinol are often synthesized in the laboratory due to the rarity and expense of natural ambergris. In the fragrance industry, trans-alpha-Ambrinol is used in perfumery, particularly in high-end or niche fragrances, to provide a distinct, marine, musky note reminiscent of natural ambergris. Due to its potent aroma, it is used sparingly to enhance the depth and longevity of perfume compositions. |
