Amber
As resinous oil and as such is used as a fixative.
It is a gentle tree fragrance, mild and sweet and luxuriant.
A safe oil, that is, easily likable, it will impart a soft,
powdery type fragrance and acts as a soft base for the creation
of a warm and subtle perfume. It is worn alone quite well especially
by women and men with brown, auburn or red hair and golden or
reddish complexions.

Sandalwood
This sweet fragrance of wood tones inspires creative
activity and new awakenings due to its ability to soothe, to
center. It adds a new dimension to a blend of resins and blends
well with florals. Often this wonder fragrance can serve as
a bridge, closing a gap between fragrances, pulling them together.
It is also enjoyed worn alone by both men and women.
