Real amber, however, smells quite different - intense, smoky, with a hint of sea salt and a subtle hint of nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, this contrast between legend and reality became the starting point for creating original fragrances from natural amber. Baltic amber smells of memories - polished nuggets, amber liquor and sometimes even the sea air after a storm. My laboratory has created amber oils and extracts extracted from the resin without the use of synthetics, using processes inspired by ancient recipes. The result? Compositions with a non-obvious character: from smoky and resinous notes, to balsamic sweetness, to delicate powdery accords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amber doesn't smell like vanilla or incense - it smells like history. Like a stone that is still alive. In my perfumes from the Mare Goticum or Hispaniola series, I wanted to show that this \u201egolden stone\u201d can be not only a jewellery symbol of the Baltic Sea, but also a fascinating artistic raw material, opening up completely new possibilities for the perfumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire interview:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/news\/amber-is-wildly-inspiring-for-perfumers-interview-with-alan-balewski\/\" title=\"Amber is wildly inspiring for perfumers - a conversation with Alan Balewski\">Amber is wildly inspiring for perfumers - a conversation with Alan Balewski<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amber is a fragrance that is difficult to describe and even more difficult to capture - which is why it has fascinated perfumers for centuries.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":33557,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"slim_seo":{"title":"Alan Balewski: Bursztyn w perfumach \u2013 naturalny, \u017cywy i zaskakuj\u0105cy - Amber Portal","description":"Amber is a fragrance that is difficult to describe and even more difficult to capture - which is why it has fascinated perfumers for centuries."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[123],"tags":[],"sekcja":[245],"class_list":["post-26714","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinie","sekcja-ludzie-opinie"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26714","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26714"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26714\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26714"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26714"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26714"},{"taxonomy":"sekcja","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amber.com.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sekcja?post=26714"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
