Than...White
Than...White is a dry, woody iris and patchouli scent with a powdery violet edge and a warm amber base. It opens aromatic, then settles into something earthier, smoother, and quietly resinous. This reads more serious than playful, with a slightly masculine lean despite being clearly unisex. It suits cooler weather, evening wear, and anyone who enjoys textured woods over bright sweetness.

Main Accords
14 MAPPEDThe woody and amber accords seem to carry the fragrance from start to finish, while patchouli adds earth and depth rather than sweetness. Violet and iris give the scent its powdery softness, but the balsamic, warm spicy, and aromatic facets stop it from feeling too cosmetic or too airy.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Than...White Review”
Than...White by Naso Di Raza is a woody aromatic fragrance built around patchouli, amber, powdery florals, and dry woods. On paper, the structure looks unusual but coherent. Iris and violet soften the darker base, while cedar, labdanum, musk, and patchouli keep it grounded. The result is not a fresh woody scent or a glossy modern amber. It reads drier, earthier, and more textured than that.
The opening likely feels aromatic first, helped by rosemary and juniper alongside the brighter lift of tangerine. That freshness does not seem to be the point for long. Very quickly, the fragrance appears to turn toward its core identity, powdery violet, iris, patchouli, and warm woods. If you enjoy a scent that moves away from sparkle and into texture, this is where Than...White should make the strongest impression.
What stands out most is the balance between floral powder and darker structure. Violet and iris can easily push a fragrance into something cosmetic or overly soft, but here they seem to sit inside a more assertive frame of patchouli, amber, cedar, and labdanum. That gives the scent a slightly shadowed feel. It is floral, but not delicate. It is warm, but not overly sweet. It is woody, but not rough in a harsh or scratchy way.
In wear, Than...White looks best suited to cooler conditions. The seasonal voting strongly points to fall and winter, and that makes sense for a scent with this much amber, earth, patchouli, and powder. Evening wear also seems like a natural fit. It has the density and quiet drama for that setting, especially if you like fragrances that sit closer to formal, moody, or contemplative territory rather than casual freshness.
Performance seems reliable rather than extreme. The community voting suggests long lasting wear is the most common experience, with sillage landing mainly between moderate and strong. That should make it present enough to enjoy without turning into a full room-filler for most people. As always with a composition this layered, temperature, dosage, and skin chemistry will matter.
The main buying question is taste. Than...White is unlikely to suit everyone. If you want something clean, transparent, citrusy, or easygoing, it may feel too dry and too serious. If you enjoy woody iris perfumes, earthy patchouli, powdery violet tones, and warm resinous depth, it looks much more promising. It also seems better for a wearer who likes fragrance texture and atmosphere more than obvious sweetness or instant friendliness.
For the right person, Than...White has a distinctive profile. It combines powdery florals with woods and amber in a way that can feel mature, composed, and a little austere. That makes it a good sample candidate for experienced fragrance wearers, especially those who want an iris-leaning woody scent that does not disappear into softness.

Not strongly. There is some warmth from amber, vanilla, and tonka, but the scent profile looks more dry, powdery, earthy, and woody than truly sweet.
