White Amber.
Soft, clean warmth. Skin rather than sugar.
Our read on the material, not a measurement.
What it smells like.
White amber is warmth without sweetness: soft, clean, faintly powdery and very close to the skin. It is lighter and less resinous than a traditional amber, which is what the white refers to, and it reads as freshly laundered rather than rich.
It is the note that makes a fragrance feel like it is coming from the person rather than the bottle. Under florals it adds a soft finish; under citrus it stops the blend vanishing after an hour. Do not expect presence from it. If you want people to notice the base, choose oud, coffee or leather instead.
