You are not alone when it comes to the age-old question from most fragrance lovers…. just what is amber and where does it come from? We have been asked this question more times then can be counted and we felt it would be useful to clear the air and open the door to the mysterious fragrance we know as amber. Amber is a crystallized mixture of aromatic resins native to India. It is not harvested with that sensual aroma all on its own, but rather it undergoes a slight manufacturing process. The amber comes from the amber resin tree (Liquidamber orientalis) and is usually mixed in a base of beeswax and combined with Styrax benzoin (Benzoin Gum). This produces the almost "sticky" effect and produces an easily applied resin. True amber resins should not contain artificial ingredients, petroleum by-products, or have any mineral base. Studies have shown that it has a psychoactive effect shown through biofeedback as a relaxant for brain waves, (alpha, beta, and theta). It has also been shown to "enhance" heart energy and increase sensual pleasure…O' La La.
