Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 For a nice Vanilla Amber starter oil. I add 15 scraped and minced beans, 20 ml Benzoin (oil), 10 ml rock rose , to 1/2 gallon of jojoba, and let it sit for a few months. shaking every time I think about it. For a richer amber you can add small amounts of agarwood, ambrette, tonka and boronia. or whatever you like, but the basic amber mix is very nice. Peace Zz....... Hi What is rock rose?

Sometimes Grade B will be smaller (around 4 inches) instead of the norm of around 6 - 8 inches. But other that those cosmetics type of differences, they smell and taste the same, only cheaper!
