Our 100% natural aged amber accord blends some of the most precious resins in our workshop: North African Rock Rose, Cambodian Agarwood, Prussian Amber resin, Madagascar Vanilla, Nepalese Spikenard, Somalian Opopanax, Tunisian Liquidambar, Himalayan Cedar, and Honduran Styrax. In its complex composition, there are notes of wild honey, red earth, pale wood, temple incense, smoke, beeswax, sap, bark, saffron, velvet, skin musk, crushed citrus flowers, butter, and suede. Used as an anointing oil, amber is said to provide grounding, stability, and psychic protection. It is also said to draw (and keep) love, happiness, and healing to the wearer.
Yes! there is light in that lone chamber,
And o'er her silken Ottoman
Are thrown the fragrant beads of amber,
O'er which her fairy fingers ran;
Near these, with emerald rays beset,
(How could she thus that gem forget?)
Her mother's sainted amulet,
Whereon engraved the Koorsee text,
Could smooth this life, and win the next;
And by her Comboloio lies
A Koran of illumined dyes;
And many a bright emblazon'd rhyme
By Persian scribes redeem'd from time;
And o'er those scrolls, not oft so mute,
Reclines her now neglected lute;
And round her lamp of fretted gold
Bloom flowers in urns of China's mould;
The richest work of Iran's loom,
And Sheeraz' tribute of perfume;
All that can eye or sense delight
Are gather'd in that gorgeous room...
-- Lord Byron

We've added meadowfoam oil to make our amber free-flowing and skin safe, however there is a very high percentage of essential oil in this formulation. A skin patch test should be conducted prior to using any aromatherapy oil that you've never used before. If you have questions, are pregnant or have a liver condition, please consult a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using.
