Starting from inexpensive (E)‐β‐farnesene (1), an eight‐step enantioselective synthesis of the olfactively precious Ambrox® ((−)‐2a) has been performed. The crucial step is the catalytic asymmetric isomerization of (2E,6E)‐N,N‐diethylfarnesylamine (3) to the corresponding enamine (−)‐(R,E)‐4a, applying Takasago's well‐known industrial methodology. The resulting dihydrofarnesal ((+)‐(R)‐5) (90% yield
