I presented these formulas in January 2022. In the spirit of the new year and the passage of time – they also deal with the different interpretations of the term Amber in perfumery.
As usual, don't expect any historical accuracy. These formulas mainly present concepts and materials for the aspiring beginner perfumer. Also, posting it here some six months later, I feel like I missed the opportunity of going much deeper into the realm of super-ambers in the last formula. Perhaps a fourth one is in order.
About the names... I slowly come to admit and own my Francophila. Nonetheless, my french sucks, so apologies to any french speakers who find them weird and inappropriate. The last one is aimed at the futuristic theme and the fact that the word electricity originates in the word amber.
