Macrolide Supra

Solid at room temp. Macrolide Supra is Symrise’s high-purity grade of pentadecan-15-olide, the classic macrocyclic musk better known in perfumery as Exaltolide or ω-pentadecalactone.

A naturally occurring lactone found in ambrette seed, it offers a soft, musky-ambrette warmth with a smooth, creamy diffusion and excellent substantivity. Symrise’s material delivers a clean, elegant musk profile—round, skin-like, slightly fruity-floral, and far less metallic than modern linear musks. Highly biodegradable! (looking at you galaxolide)
