A chemical compound found in ambroxan and ambergris used in perfumes and fragrances.
From ambrosia or ambergris combined with the chemical suffix '-in,' which denotes organic compounds. The term emerged in modern chemistry to describe fragrant molecules.
Ambrosin is literally a molecule with a divine name—it's one of the chemicals that gives ambergris (from whale secretions) its incredible smell, and perfume companies hunt for synthetic versions to recreate luxury fragrances.
