{"product_id":"baume-ambre","title":"Baume Ambré","description":"\u003cp\u003eBaume Ambré is a co-distillation — benzoin resin distilled directly onto gurjun balsam, producing aromatic compounds that neither material creates alone. This is not a blend. When two botanicals are distilled together, heat and steam generate new molecules at the interface, yielding a material with qualities impossible to achieve by simply mixing the finished oils. The result here is benzoin transformed: still sweet, still vanillic, but carrying the memory of hot stone and burning paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic benzoin sweetness is immediately recognisable, but the gurjun co-distillation pushes it somewhere strange and nostalgic. A faint plastic edge adds tension to the sweetness. As the top notes vaporise, a cinnamic warmth emerges underneath — tying Baume Ambré back to the ancient balsamic family while keeping it unpredictable. The smoke quality is not birch or cade but papier d'Arménie: delicate, sweet, devotional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it as a base anchor in orientals where standard benzoin feels too simple. It bridges the gap between clean vanillic sweetness and the darker, more complex resinous territory that modern niche compositions demand. Layer it beneath florals to give them warmth without heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that in colder climes, Baume Ambré may have some separation. It is simply the heavier benzoic acid from the benzoin fraction. Gentle warmth will homogenise the material. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fraterworks","offers":[{"title":"1g","offer_id":51859732103480,"sku":"461320-1","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4g","offer_id":51859732136248,"sku":"461320-4","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15g","offer_id":51859732169016,"sku":"461320-15","price":26.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25g","offer_id":51859732201784,"sku":"461320-25","price":36.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":51859732234552,"sku":"461320-50","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":51859732267320,"sku":"461320-100","price":103.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":51859732300088,"sku":"461320-250","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/1448\/9400\/files\/iStock-1944752503.jpg?v=1772783539","url":"https:\/\/fraterworks.com\/products\/baume-ambre","provider":"Fraterworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
