I just to buy amber cigarettes in Cairo at the perfume shops in Khan el Khalili, I sure they still sell them. Apparently they are aphrodisiac.

Yeah this is why I was wondering, I guess - I don't believe amber the resin is related, scent-wise, to 'amber' the concept in fragrance. Amber the resin has little scent and when it does it's more like pine wood. Amber in perfume refers to accords made up of a collection of ingredients (rather than something derived from a single raw material, though it was originally based on ambergris) which vary between fragrances, perfumers etc., but generally based on benzoin, labdanum, and vanilla. Emilie goes on to talk about amber in perfume (so the perfumery concept rather than the resin), so I'm guessing she must mean she has a piece of ambergris - which is cool, because I wasn't aware you could still get it so (relatively) easily!

Sandra, thanks for the reply. I don't usually care for rise scents but I am certainly going yo swing past Barney's to give the Amber for men a try.
Thanks

She's a girl after my own heart, I love red lipstick and recently bought Blazing Red by Dior and Cana by Aveda, both orange-reds.

Hi! Wondering what Chanel shadows Emilie uses to get the "bruised" look?

Curious to know whether she uses the entire Laszlo line/does the 5,000 splashes, etc.? I've always wanted to try their products!

Amber and Ambergris are two totally different things. What she is talking about would be Amber (resin) as it would be plentiful to buy in bazaars in places like Turkey and Morocco.
