Ambroxan

Ambroxan is a molecule made from clary sage extract to stand in for ambergris, and it gives off a dry, faintly salty woodiness.

Everyday reference
It is like sniffing a piece of sun-bleached driftwood.
Versus Amber
Side by side, amber is syrupy and resinous, while Ambroxan has almost no sugar and smells of dry wood and skin.
What to smell for
Notice the dry, radiant trail it leaves for hours, long after the opening notes are gone.
