Well composed, well balanced and ready for the ones of higher thoughts and interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm ambery, rich, spicy and deeply musky... Amber Musk Ultimate... intended for men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT IS AMBER OIL\u003cbr\u003eAmber is a mixture of natural herbs, woods, gums and spices with its essence originating from the tree liquidamber orientalis, a deciduous tree. A cross-section of the tree which has been invaded by fungus causes the tree to react and in a defense mechanism resulting in sap production. Another method of cultivation is where a cross-section of the tree has been artificially induced with fungus which results in resin production. In this section of the tree, a semi-solid mass laden with sap is removed and distilled and a yellowish liquid is extracted. The resin compound is known as succinic acid which is a chief component in amber essential oil. Although this liquid component is derived from the tree itself, it is not the final product. The final product undergoes manufacturing in which other essential components are added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically,\u003cbr\u003eamber oil was produced for the purpose of ayurvedic medicine and at some point in time became an ingredient used in perfume. The final product was a closely guarded secret from family to family and region to region, meaning that amber oil produced in the North may smell completely different than of one in the West, or even different than one produced within the same comparable region, as final characteristics may depend on the 'Attarwallah', or perfume master, or in Arabic 'Attarji'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe differences may vary from region to region and ingredient compositions, it's unlikely to say one is better than another, as the final product is determined by the hand of its chief composer. However, colour differences are often visible - some being reddish, others orange, fire engine red and black. The olfactory notes are that of camphor, balsamic slightly sour vanillic herbal as in spikenard and grassy woody mossy as in vetiver, floral herbaceous as in saffron, vanillic as in vanilla and labdanum, frankincense and styrax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT IS THE BASE OIL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base oil often varies, as you may find varying degrees of preference or knowledge and availability, with some claiming safflower seed oil base, others using mineral oil. My personal preference is a Sandalwood Mysore base oil which attenuates the fragrance thereby reducing the sourness and adding a fine woody sweet characteristic to the final product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIS AMBER AND AMBERGRIS THE SAME THING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, they are not the same thing; amber is a resin and concoction of many essential essences, composed to create the final product, while AMBERGRIS is a semi solid waxy substance ELIMINATED by the sperm whale. This waxy substance is referred to as float, and it’s comprised of squid beaks and other indigestible materials expelled by the sperm whale. This mass hardens in the salt water due to oxidization from heat, sun and salt and washes ashore or floats for periods in the ocean. When collected it is evaluated for quality by a set of principle standards; location, age, color and texture. Ambergris is found in a range of colours, such as white, grey, gold, reddish and black; the black variety being the lowest quality due to its softer, more pungent and faecal nature; however, produces a fine attar. Some may judge quality by its smell, not the colour alone, and the sweeter the better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF AMBER\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmber’s chief anabolic compound is succinic acid, an extraction when undiluted is most potent. However, there are risk in applications in its undiluted form, therefore it is most advisable to seek professional health and dietary experts regarding its potential use. It should be noted that dilution, a common practice, appears to carry equal benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT I FIND MOST INTERESTING is the health benefits of amber resemble similar to that of Musk Deer oil, in that both are soothing, reduce rapid heartbeat, heart flutter and palpitations, calm the mind and open the heart to higher thought and meditation, spiritual reflection and balance. Curative properties are internal and external - antioxidant and antimicrobial, reduces scarring and aids in tissue regeneration, assists the function of the liver, and its topical use on damaged tissues is known to be that of a pain reliever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIETARY USE of Amber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA food additive in many East Asian cuisines and desserts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOSMETIC USE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin and Hair tonic, Amber Parfum Powder, and Amber solid parfum cream and rub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMASSAGE OIL, Ayurvedic health remedy, and bath soak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRUH AL AMBER succinic acid, the 'spirit of amber' is known in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Hindi, as the Soul of Amber, and can be translated to mean the 'heart of amber'. The use of Arabic to define Amber is more than likely due to the Moghul influence in northern India, where Arabic-Farsi script was the lingua franca at the time; hence its introduction to the whole of the Indian subcontinent explains the inclusion into the greater Indian and Hindi Diaspora and Sanskrit speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommentaire by \u003cbr\u003eArtisan Perfumer Sharif LaRoche\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Agarscentsbazaar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45913761300,"sku":"PAM00446S","price":94.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2161\/0031\/products\/il_fullxfull.748499981_34xs.jpg?v=1501868487","url":"https:\/\/www.agarscentsbazaar.com\/fr\/products\/amber-musk-ultimate-3ml-arabian-perfume-oil","provider":"Agarscents bazaar ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
