Interior Fragrance "Amber Renaissance"

"Although known to Umayyad poets since the Middle Ages as the second most important fragrance after musk, ambergris, originally reserved for caliphs, kings, and great figures, retained all its mystery regarding its biological origins until the 18th century. But it was during the Renaissance that it became a currency of exchange between the East and the West, and according to Léon l’Africain, ambergris is as precious as gold or gems. Renowned as an aphrodisiac, it is sought after for its warm, coppery, sensual, and delightfully oriental notes."
