Amber Incense Resin

When you mention amber resin, an intoxicating and rich aroma comes to mind. This divine fragrance has been a very sacred powder for a long period. In the past, it has been given many names including Ambrosia, which means Nectar of Gods. It has very many uses, some of which are spiritual like purification, love, luck, healing, meditation, as well as an aphrodisiac.

Amber is a combination of different herbs and resins. They are put together in India by master formulators. A formulator uses a secret unique recipe that is generations old and guarded tightly.

Amber fragrance is mainly defined as woody, earthy and sweet. The earthy note is from the combination of different resins. You will also note a hint of vanilla that contributes to the sweet aroma.

In general, the amber resin is in the form of a solid fragrance that is made using a couple of oleoresins and resinoids that include gum frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, gum styrax, labdanum, Sal tree, and many more.

To burn the resin as an incense you need to have a heat source. Most people use a charcoal disc that is designed specifically for this purpose. The disc should be placed inside a heat resistant container with earth inside if required to shield the strong heat. Once alight the resin can be spooned gently placed onto the charcoal and the resin becomes an incense and the delightful aromas are released. You can then add more resin as required.

Safety note: Never leave unattended. Do not place container on flammable surface. Keep away from children and pets and do not ingest. Dispose of charcoal safely.
