OVERVIEW
Fossilized Amber oil is produced from a fossilized tree resin that is millions of years old. Unlike our oils from living plants, there is no essential oil that can be directly obtained from the fossilized resin. Instead, the oil comes from a process called dry distillation whereby the amber resin is processed over high heat until an oily substance is obtained.
While there are several sources for Amber around the world, ours is one of the sole sources in North America for this rare form of fossilized Amber Oil. Our Fossilized Amber Oil is extracted from 35 million-year-old Himalayan fossilized tree resin. This makes for a dark, viscous oil with smoky, resinous, leathery, woody-dry notes and hints of pine and balsamic overtones. A unique and interesting note in any natural perfume composition, Fossilized Amber Oil dissolves in both alcohol and fixed oils and makes an excellent fixative and base note.
Aromatic Profile: Smoky, resinous, leathery, woody-dry with a hint of pine & balsamic overtones.
Appearance: Transparent and mobile amber hued oil.
Use: Natural perfumery for its aroma and fixative properties, in aromatherapy blends for calming the nerves.
