My Review of Persian Amber

Originally submitted at Attar Bazaar

Powerful scent with a gentle sweetness. Hotter than other varieties of amber, excellent for healing the heart on a spiritual level.

Wonderful!

Persian Amber is an exceptional fragrance. It has a certain exotic, slightly spicey flavor that makes it better than the standard amber resin. I love it!

My Review of Tunisian Frankincense

Originally submitted at Attar Bazaar

One of the scents presented to the infant Jesus (a.s.) and always found in use during religious ceremonies, because, Frankincense dispels malevolent, evil and distressing psychic forces. Improves memory and cleanses the aura. Ruling planet: Sun.

Nice stuff--not the "original," but nice

This is a signature fragrance for me. This one's pretty good, but it's not quite what I was trying to find: Tunisian Frankincense about 15 years ago was available in a different form: a much richer, slightly oilier, deeper and somewhat darker smell (many of the same notes as Persian Amber, in fact). It was more exotic than this one. However, this being what's available, it'll do nicely. I'd buy it again if I ran out of this.
