Frequently asked
Why is Iso E Super so popular?
It is soft, diffusive, and blends almost any wood or amber accord smoothly. It also has remarkable longevity and a transparent 'velvet' quality on skin.
What's the difference between Ambroxan and amber accords?
Ambroxan is a single ambery molecule with a clean, mineral character. A traditional amber accord (see our amber accord) is a sweet, resinous blend very different feeling.
