Amber Scented Candles

What amber smells like

Amber is a resin note. It smells warm and golden, a little sweet, closer to sun warmed wood than to anything floral. On its own it reads rich and slow, like Egyptian Amber. Under other notes it rounds off sharp edges, which is why it shows up in so many of our blends. It sits well next to sandalwood, leather, smoke and bright citrus, and it suits anyone who wants a room to feel settled rather than perfumed.
