Product Overview

Amber Oil—a timeless cornerstone of oriental perfumery and traditional Kannauj attar artistry—is a rich, velvety, deeply sensual aromatic oil crafted from fossilized amber resin (Pinus succinifera) and classic botanical resinoids (Labdanum, Benzoin, and Vanilla-balsamic extracts). It delivers a warm, enveloping, sweet-resinous bouquet layered with golden honey, smoky incense, creamy vanilla-benzoin, supple leather, and warm woody undertones. Valued as both a luxurious base note and a premier natural fixative, it adds long-lasting depth, warmth, and cohesion to fine fragrances and attars.
