To top up beyond the included vials, the Refill Set offers three 8.5ml refills that slot effortlessly into your ATOM.iser.

Ambroxan is a crystal-chemical structure identical to the ambrox derived from ambergris. For centuries, ambergris has been one of the most prized ingredients in perfumery. It is a somewhat mysterious substance expelled by the cachalot or sperm whale, which only attains its fine scent after a long maturation floating in the ocean.

Ambergris is rarely found these days, and the 'amber' in a modern fragrance will be a lab-created equivalent of some of the aroma-molecules that make up its scent. The finest of these by far is the nature-identical molecule Ambroxan.

The maximum percentage that can be dissolved in a fragrance compound is 13.5%. Any more, and it begins to crystallise out of the solution. Most fragrances with 'amber' contain 1-2%.
