Product Overview

Unlike the synthetic Amber perfumes that are commonly sold, Fossilized Amber Oil has a completely different aromatic profile. The extraction process yields a dark, viscous oil with smoky, resinous, leathery, tar-like, woody-dry notes and hints of Pine and balsamic overtones. The aroma is not sweet at all and because of this it is not often used as the main note in a perfume unless modified with other aromatic oils. NOTE: This product is diluted for ease of use and contains 5% Fossilized Amber Oil in 95% Sunflower Oil – Organic. For the pure and undiluted version of this oil, please see our Amber Oil, Fossilized.

While there are several sources for Amber throughout the world, Eden Botanicals is the sole source in North America for this rare form of Fossilized Amber Oil. Compared to the oil extracted from Baltic Amber, our Fossilized Amber Oil is extracted from 35-million-year-old Himalayan fossilized tree resin.[1] 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.[2]

When used in trace amounts, Fossilized Amber provides unique and interesting nuances in natural perfumes. It makes an excellent fixative and base note. This product is diluted for ease of use and contains 5% Fossilized Amber Oil in 95% Sunflower Oil – Organic. For the pure and undiluted version of this oil, please see our Amber Oil, Fossilized.

A Flash Fire's Aftermath

Rating

Smoke and heat, but dry. Almost crackling. The heady, almost intoxicating scent of parched wood being burned. Even at 5%, it is a very powerful profile that may threaten to overwhelm other scents. Use sparingly if in combination.

Solid, stone-like scent!

Rating

This dilution is beautiful! Upon opening the bottle, I feel this has a very earthy scent. Not so much loamy or soil like, but truly Stoney and solid. Like a fine fossil should smell... Ancient and hard. I do pick up some subtle leather, more like leather gloves than a trench coat if that makes sense. And the smokiness is amazing. Smoky doesn't have to mean burnt or ashtray odor, this is very fine and well worth the buy! I also catch a little pine, but there's more! Somewhere in there, is this odd (I mean ODD in the most gorgeous and rare form) floral-spiciness!!! From top to bottom I LOVE this oil. Every note comes together seamlessly. For anyone trying to make and old, ancient styled smell, pick this up! It could be that thing many are looking for to take their resins, incense and other Amber type scents.

Leather & woody dry down

Rating

This is not to strong. Leathery smell comes out 1st on the top note , bottom note gets very woody and dry down of the scent is pleasant & wonderful , ( if you are looking for a stronger Amber , up in your face & longer dry down & stronger , go with Amber fossilized , but personally I like the 5% cause my wife can't take the original smell , has to be diluted , if I wear oudh my wife kicks me out of the house , so dilutions is good for people like me , no joke )

Highly recommend. Very relaxing!

Rating

I bought this oil because one of my favorite online soapers expressed a love for homemade amber perfume. I can't wait to make perfume but I have to say that when I opened the bottle, me, my sweetheart and my oldest son rubbed some on our skin topically. We all became so relaxed. I love the smell, texture and color. I think I will add it to some body butter. You can't put a price on calm nerves without side effects.

divine campfire

Rating

I ordered a small sample to test and was expecting a typical sweet amber. This is much darker, drier and primal. The main elements are smoke and pine wood. I think the leather is in there, but in my experience, dry dry woods much more so. I love this kind a thing...smoky. There is a sweetness too, and it is beautiful and captivating on its own as a perfume.
