Andrane

Say itAN-drayn

Earthy, patchouli-like dry wood with fresh ambergris facets.

What it is
A molecule made from a natural raw material.
When you smell it
Dry-down: what stays.
What perfumers do with it
Adds earthy patchouli tones and dry amber freshness to woody and oriental structures.
Worth knowing
Chemically it is cedrene with one oxygen bridge added, yet it smells more of patchouli than of cedar.
Also called
Cedrene epoxide; 8,9-epoxycedrane
