Ámbar del Sur Inspiration

I created Ámbar del Sur gathering some of the most precious ingredients in my library.

Yes, currently amber is a trendy aromatic profile. But amber as an accord, has been around for a few centuries.

Ambergris is a substance regurgitated by sperm whales that solidifies while it's floating in the ocean. It has the consistency of pumice stone, and the smell of the ocean. More than 400 different molecules can be found in its makeup.

For centuries found in the shores of Northern Europe, Africa and India, Ambergris was also occasionally traded in the XVIII and XIX Centuries along points of the Patagonian shores, when passengers of transoceanic trade and exploration vessels would stop to replenish supplies, on their voyage around Cape Horn, all of this, before the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914. Passengers would comingle with indigenous and natives, trading utensils brought from Europe, and ambergris stones collected by the natives made their way to the pages of history.

Ámbar del Sur revives these stories, infused with precious essential oils, resins, ambergris and castoreum reconstitutions, and some rare distills hauling from India.

When I burn it at home, it diffuses through the entire house and it lingers for hours. It is a fav of some friends during the holidays, and now I am making it available to everyone who wants to smell what ambergris smells like.
