Nui Cobalt has a truly lovely white amber note (see Ghost Cat and especially Mirror), cool and glassy. Here the inherent quiet sweetness of white amber is amped a little with the powdered sugar, and while it's primarily a white amber-forward scent, it's accented with pearl musk (to my nose, it's actually closer to the pearl musk of Cancer, Grace, and Akhal-Teke, rather than the porcelain musk listed in Beauty & the Stockholm Syndrome Support Group or The Star), and an absolutely gorgeous soft smooth suede.

This is the embodiment of the color white - upon first sniff, this feels so cottony and airy, it really does give the impression of dryness. I get a powdery floral at the forefront that settles into an airy musk - the suede bringing in a nice rich softness, and the powdered sugar gives it just a hint of sweetness that keeps the motif of dry ingredients. I'm currently wearing this to bed, but could see myself reaching for it in any situation I need to feel comforted and calmed.
