What Amber — The Warm Resin of the Mediterranean is known for

'Amber' in perfumery is not the fossilized resin of the stone, but an accord — a combination of labdanum (resin from the rockrose plant, primarily from Crete), benzoin (resin from the Styrax tree)…

Best for — labdanum from Crete + benzoin + vanilla — warm, resinous, enveloping. The foundation of oriental perfumery.

Labdanum sourced primarily from Crete, Greece.
