ambroxan

A synthetic ambergris stand-in. Salty, radiant, slightly mineral. Gives a fragrance the "lit from within" glow that real ambergris is famous for. The defining base note of post-2010 niche perfumery. Also: the entirety of Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume.

Also known as: ambrox, ambroxide, cetalox, ambrofix, ambrocenide, amber ketal, sylvamber, boisiris
