About Twinkle Apothecary

Just amber

The inspiration behind my signature amber blend is Paris. Specifically, the ultra-chic Hotel Plaza Athénée in September 2005. The resinous, smoky, heady scent of the candles they were burning mingled with the crisp fall air during my stay stuck with me for years, and I’ve searched for that scent in every “amber” candle since, to no avail. (Turns out, most ambers are just basic, generic woodsy blends, yawn.) When I started making perfume - a decade after my visit to Paris, because that is the power of a good scent memory - I knew I had to figure out how to make that real, french amber myself. 

I say, mission accomplished. When I smell this, I’m suddenly drinking a glass of Bordeaux on a sidewalk cafe in September, admiring the Eiffel tower while inhaling too much second-hand smoke. (Only romantic when in Paris!) It’s a simple blend - benzoin extract, labdanum absolute, vanilla, and a bit of fossilized amber resin from the Himalayas - but there’s nothing simple about the way it smells. It’s deep, rich, smoky, woodsy, leathery, slightly sweet, with a hint of powder. Mineral. Somewhat reminiscent of incense. There’s something kind of mysterious and moody about it, but it also feels traditional. Classic, if you will. 

This layering fragrance can be worn alone, or layered with just about any of my other layering fragrances or essential oil rollers. My favorite pairings are rose, cream, earth, patchouli, vetiver, and sandalwood, but don’t let these suggestions limit your palate or imagination - this is your chance to get creative and find a signature fragrance that suits your tastes. Why not try a sample and see where it takes you?

If you like the sound of my amber blend but are looking for a stand-alone scent, I suggest: Pétiller, Amber Spice, Cardigan, Amber Fir, or Bad B*tch. All of these can be ordered from the Perfume Archives listing. Also, be sure to try Dark Woods from my permanent collection!


Strength and wear time

Medium-strong, but mellow. Medium to long wearing. Lasts about 4-5 hours on the skin. A base note. 

Note that the body oil is a much lighter dilution than the perfume, and will have a lighter strength and wear time.

Instructions

Spray onto pulse points, in your hair, or lightly over your clothes. 

Wear alone, or create your own scent story by layering amber with another single note fragrance or essential oil roller.

Ingredients

fragrance blend: benzoin extract, wildcrafted labdanum absolute, vanilla co2, fractionated coconut oil, organic sunflower oil, fossilized amber resin 

alcohol spray base: organic grape spirits 

oil roll-on base: organic fractionated coconut oil 

body oil base: wildcrafted jojoba oil and organic fractionated coconut oil 

solid base: candelilla wax and organic fractionated coconut oil 

You can also choose to have another, scented botanical wax added to your solid perfume - I currently have rose, jasmine, tuberose, cassie, and violet leaf available. Please leave a note with your order if you would like one of those in addition to or instead of the unscented candelilla wax!  

If you are placing an order and would like a small sample of one of these waxes to test, please leave a note for me and I'll include it free of charge.

Light delicious layering or stand-alone scent

I just love amber! It's light yet packs a punch of delicious scent. I like wearing it alone, and it also works so well combined with other scents when I do want to wear more than one. It kinda smells like the definition of autumn to me, which is impossible to describe, but it just feels so fitting wearing it during the cooler times of the year.

It seems like it would be heavy, but it is kind of light, isn't it?! Such a good description. Thank you!
