Having long been fascinated by the mysterious history of amber, L'Artisan Parfumeur has created an amber note made entirely of pure vegetable ingredients blended together to form a solid substance similar in nature to organic amber. These crystals are held captive in a hand carved terracotta ball, made exclusively for L'Artisan in the South of France by a family of potters for over the past 30 years. Unobtrusive yet intense, the fragrance will slowly waft through the air infusing the atmosphere of your home or office with a warm mesmerizing aroma. The life of the crystals is about 2 years. Refills can be purchased by request. Every month it is a good idea to give the amber ball a "steam bath" by placing it in your bathroom: the humidity generated by a shower or hot bath will revitalize the crystals. Deliciously intoxicating, this uniquely scented art object will be treasured for many years to come. Presented in a black box lined with tissue paper. The amber balls come in various sizes ranging in cost.
