Origin & Lore

In perfumery, an amber accord is a warm, resinous blend rather than the fossil itself, and it has long been associated with heat, light and comfort. This oil carries that warmth into fire work: courage, success and protective strength. It sits among the scented ritual oils practitioners wear and use on candles rather than among the old named formulas.

For most of history amber was the warm golden resin that turned to fossil and held insects inside it like flies in honey; it was burned as incense and worn as a charm against harm.

Baltic amber has been traded since the Stone Age, and the Romans prized it so highly that Pliny the Elder complained a small amber figure could cost more than a healthy slave. It was strung into necklaces as protective amulets, and Greek myth explained it as the hardened tears of the Heliades, sisters of Phaethon, who wept for him after he fell from driving the chariot of the Sun.
