For the romantic in us all, Polyamberous, dripping in rich, sticky amber, beeswax, wisps of musk, and delectable pistachio, is made for a world where more is merrier and love is the answer.”

It’s a warm, well-worn saddle of a scent that gives that unwavering confidence to the person burning it with tried-and-true ingredients that inspire them to embrace the world and risk it all.”
