What White Amber Means

Amber in perfumery is an accord, a blend of resins such as labdanum and benzoin with vanilla, not fossil resin. White amber is the lighter reading of that idea, with airy, musky and slightly salty tones in place of dark resin and spice. Perfumers use it in the base to give a clean glow.

Cartier Eau de Cartier Concentrée is a perfume people discuss in the communities Scendira tracks that lists white amber. It lists white amber in the base with cedar and patchouli, under yuzu and coriander at the top.

Suits: People who like soft, clean amber. Skip if: you want the dark, resinous kind of amber.

If you like this, try amber perfumes or ambroxan perfumes, or step back to warm amber perfumes.
