Amber Sweetie Essential Oil
Adam Michael has this to say “Wow what a material, amber warm with sticky sweet medicinal qualities oozing within the top notes. The heart and base notes are lashings and lashings of sultry warm ambery charm and a never ending output of animalic-leathery shoe shop nuances. The longevity, the body, the intensity, the consistency, it is simply breath taking – lasting weeks on the smelling strip and several hours on the skin.
A true masterpiece material, maybe the best natural amber material available. Fantastic material for building amber bases, developing leather, tobacco, fougere, chypre and dry woody accords. Excellent material for enriching frankincense notes, adds interesting effects within citrus accords and blends especially well with sandalwood materials.
This material is obtained by molecular distillation from cistus labdanum extract, orange-yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.”
David Ruskin has this to say “Not at all sweet! It is strongly labdanum and reminds me of Dynascone or Animalis. I love it! Possibly some styrax there too. It smells to me of Plasticine (old and all the colours mixed together, like I remember from Junior school). After a while there is a dried fruit note. After that, it stays pretty much the same, and I imagine that it lasts for weeks on a smelling strip. Very nice material.”

One of my favorites. Superlative for leather blends, I’ve used it for a boozy floral blend, cray enough it work very well with violet like notes (Ionones-Irones-Iris…). Can be used in substitution of Castoreum or Birch, though not the same result, it gives an amazing super long lasting animalic effect that is balanced and very peculiar…

This stuff is out of this world but also a puzzling to use.
Gives me an olfactory trip back to my youth and the barns and stables of nearby farms, this has a horsey, manure, hay note combined with medicinal balmy and unusual Plasticine bitter-sweetness. It’s completely odd but overwhelmingly intoxicating. One of the most interesting resins I’ve ever smelled, but perhaps not for everyone?

I really do adore this material. Amber sweetie to me is an animalic warm and intoxicating blend of benzoin, labdanum and Raspberry absolute all in one. It whisks me back to the dusty hot streets of Chennai.

This is great stuff for building amber based scents together with some labdanum abs, vanilla and African soap myrrh. benzoin, vanilla and woods. Still experimenting with it for sure.

A very useful fraction of Cistus ladaniferus, it is a blessing for anyone who fantasizes of the perfect leather accord. I am very happy to have come across it. It blends so well with Frankincense as well other traditional “leather” oils like rectified Birch. It is tenacious, however, and it will likely outlast even other powerhouse base notes.
Peter (verified owner) –
Gorgeous, more elegant version of labdanum. That slightly bitter note makes it sophisticated and addictive. Very useful and beautiful material.
John (verified owner) –
A fascinating oil. Very warming. Smelling neat, the dominating note I detect is “barnyard”, almost manure-like!
Carlos silva (verified owner) –
A wonderful, deep, rich leather-ish and animalic long lasting smell.Great alone or mixed with other scents in perfume. Goes really well with “woodsy” scents like sandalwood, cedar, and Peru balsam.
Spencer R (verified owner) –
This is a MUST for leather accords. It also works beautifully in rounding out more deep and masculine amber accords. I definitely get resin-leather-sweet amber impressions.
Carrie T (verified owner) –
I am in love! What a rich gift to my soul, calming, heartfelt warmth. I am excited to explore blending with it.
Carlos silva (verified owner) –
This just blow me away …i dont find it to sweet as Labdanum but im enchanted with the animalic-leatherish, what a wonderfull master piece.
Love love love it.

Beautiful deep smoky and sensual amber. Leather with a touch of red fruits and powdery violets. My new favourite 🙂
Nicholas M (verified owner) –
This takes the most leathery aspect of labdanum and multiples it by 20. This is a very masculine fraction of labdanum. I imagine this could be a base material for a modern saddle soap type scent. Very strong barnyard scent until dilution, but in the best possible ways.

Most puzzling, unexpected and surprising, unsettling and mind-boggling, incredible (and incredulous) Labdanum essence I’ve ever encountered (big fan of Cistrose here); a real Maverick – to the point that upon opening the bottle for the first time I thought, that some freakish confusion has happened and I’ve got not a cutely diminitive ‘Amber sweetie’, but some animalistic beastly ‘Rambo sweaty’ of another oil:
Immediate, and overwhelming impression of the first sniff (both from the bottle and on wrist swipe) was that I’m having a raw Assam Boya Oud – raunchy-animalistic sour sweaty cloud of pungent sebum soaked in musty and musky groin pheromones. I dismissed the impossible notion of Boya, then I thought, ah! that’s Castoreum that Adam poured by mistake. And he probably also added some Costus root for the good measure!
After a while, the intoxicating sweaty cloud opened up with terpenic resinous notes of Rosin (Colophonium resin used for violin bows, wrestlers’ grip and ballet shoes), intermingling with waxy stearin-like wiffs of extinguished candle, freshly cured leather of horse-riding boots, traces of cresole; in fact the whole ambience of horse-riding ambience is in this ‘sweatie’ wonder.
Further down upon mellowing, the scent suddenly and occasionally shows a soapy clean note of Frankincense, then morphing back into Castoreum phantom.
While resinous bitterness does eventually discloses a connection of this aromatic wonder to a plant named ‘Cistrose’, the scent continues to have a powerful animalistic diffusion and pheromonic ‘stir’ all the way throughout its timeline. A Phenomenon of essence!
Akim Kelar (verified owner) –
In my life, I had an opportunity to work with true fossilized amber oil, which has a strong wood shavings-like smoky resinous amber note, and could be hazardous because of peroxides content (this oxygen connection causes amber scent in many components). Therefore, it can be used in very low concentrations (less than 0,05%).
This material is so similar, that I would be concerned that I have a deal with kind of the fossilized amber oil, if I wouldn’t know that it’s a derivative of the Cistus. So dry, leathery, burnt, smokey, resinous, oppoponax resin like, ambery. The only what differs and gives away its Cistus nature is that soft, but strong green leather note, reminiscent of the leather note in cistus oil, which a bit dominates under the incense ambery note in top notes.
