Story

Elegant but elusive, this beautiful perfume opens with beguiling velvet balsamic notes from handharvested Ambres: Balsam of Peru and Storax Resin. The warm sweetness is lifted by a sustainably-grown Indian Mysore Sandalwood that brings sweet creamy wood notes, then held in a lavish embrace of powdery Bulgarian Rose Otto, sensual Elderflower, and fruity Magnolia Leaf. A soft, seductive scent that melts into your skin.

AMBRE is the perfumery term for tree resins
ORIGIN  El Salvador, Haiti & Honduras
EXTRACTION  Resin

Sweet, floral, leathery and balsamic, resin ingredients have been used in perfumery since ancient times. Three ambres are used here: Amyris (Amyris Balsamifera) resin from Haitian forests; Balsam of Peru (Myroxolon Balsamum) wild-harvested in El Salvador; and Storax Resin (Liquidambar Styraciflua) collected by the Pech people from the ancient forests of the Olancho Mountains in Honduras.

These amber resins are harvested from very old trees, using traditional, sustainable methods that do not harm the tree.
