H1: Bridging Arabian Olfactory Heritage with Chinese Biotechnology


The Middle East luxury perfume market, valued at $5.2 billion in 2024 (Gulf News Report), faces mounting pressure to phase out animal-derived ingredients like ambergris.

China’s fragrance pioneers have engineered Bio-based Ambroxane via synthetic biology – a 100% vegan molecule replicating ambergris’s signature dry-down, certified by IFRA and Halal Advisory Board. Lab tests confirm 40% cost reduction versus whale-sourced equivalents while maintaining 98% olfactory similarity (SGS Report #2024-AMBX).

“Bio-based Ambroxane thermal stability makes it ideal for Arabic concentrated perfumes,” states Odowell’s R&D Director.
