White Amber

White Amber is a modern, translucent amber note admired for its sheer sensuality, clean warmth, and airy luminosity. Unlike traditional amber, which is deep, resinous, and sweet, White Amber presents a lighter, silkier interpretation—infused with soft musks, creamy woods, and powdery undertones. It retains the warmth and depth of an amber base, but with a cool, mineral-tinged elegance, often described as cashmere-like, skin-smooth, and subtly glowing. Used predominantly in base notes, White Amber enhances fragrance compositions with a long-lasting, radiant softness, offering both structure and lightness.

History & Composition: White Amber is a fantasy accord, built by perfumers using a blend of musk molecules, ambroxan, synthetic ambergris, and soft vanillic resins. Emerging with the popularity of minimalist and luminous scents in the late 20th century, it has become a staple in clean musk florals, modern orientals, and airy woody compositions. It pairs beautifully with jasmine, iris, pear, sandalwood, or ozonic and aquatic notes, giving a fragrance a subtle yet seductive trail. Where traditional amber is golden and opulent, White Amber is diaphanous and modern—a whisper of warmth that lingers like sunlight on silk.
