Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wanted real amber...tree sap. It's used in perfumes and burned as incense and is a natural product. This is what some people are calling "amber resin"...It's some kind of wax, maybe beeswax. With perfume and color added. I think it has some tumeric or something similar for color. I got two cubes about the size of sugar cubes. They're dark in color and look like an old-fashioned product. But be warned. The fragrance is nice, but I am almost certain it's artificial perfume. There is a similar company selling a product called "Egyptian Goddess" which claims to be a musk perfume in the Egyptian tradition, but if you ask them they'll tell you it's all artificial chemical fragrance. This is like that. I'm a little allergic to it. I wish they would say what the ingredients are, but I don't think that's gonna happen. Take it from me. It's a wax, with colorant, and a fake patchouli-type fragrance. You might even like the fragrance. But it is not natural, my nose doesn't lie. Since it's beeswax-type material, you might be able to burn it, or you could rub it on your body. If you're not allergic to it. For those people saying "i've bought amber before and rubbed it on my body" you didn't buy amber. Amber feels like plastic and doesn't melt like that. It turns out this is a category of thing, that some companies are making, and they all have different recipes. You can find "amber resin" that is beeswax, patchouli, and saffron. On the natural side. Other people sell "amber resin" that is ghee or carnauba wax or basically lip gloss, with artificial color and artificial perfume added. There is very little in common from one product to the next. Like I say, you may really like this product, but it's not natural and it's not amber. it's like buying "amber scented bubble bath"...you might like it. But not if you're looking for real resin to use in a perfume or burn as incense or something. It's wrong to call this "amber" when it is not amber. If they had said "synthetic amber-scented perfume oil wax cube" I would have said "Bravo" although I would not have purchased it. Calling it "amber resin" when it is NOT an amber resin is not cool. if this is helpful to anyone please click below. i wish someone had told me. thanks.
