Author: Incense from India

A rich amber bouquet with vanilla overtones.

AMBER is often referred to as the "Nectar of the Gods" or Ambrosia, because of its divine aroma. This fragrance is traditionally used as a powerful medicine to treat a number of chronic illnesses and hysteria. The sensitive user will find the numerous variations of amber incense useful for tuning into their own healing processes.

VANILLA is often used as a fragrance ingredient in creating many oriental perfumes. It blends well with scents such as sandalwood, vertiver, benzoin, balsam, and other spice oils. Its essence can be both soothing and healing.

DURBARS (and Champas) are wet-process incenses which frequently contain ingredients entirely unfamiliar in the West.

They are usually very slow burning and quite sweet and spicy in bouquet.

They can amalgamate solid and liquid perfumes in a gummy base which never quite dries, making the sticks themselves soft to the touch. All are rich and highly fragranced.
