Amber is a name for different products. First is amber a substance that comes from the intestine of sperm whales (gray amber or "amber gris"). It floats at sea in clogs that are light brown to black in color. Back in the days amber was used as a medicine and was considered a (very expensive) miracle cure. When creating perfumes it is a widely used ingredient for its typical musky scent. Nowadays usually there are synthetic products used (decline in whale stocks). The second amber (yellow amber) is what the English speakers call amber and is called ''barnsteen'' in Dutch. This is the fossil resin of some pine tree species and is one of the oldest and most precious incense resins. There is also a liquid variant, the "liquid amber" or styrax (storax) which comes from the resin of the styrax tree. It is a widely used oil against skin problems, colds and as an antiseptic. Stimulating and much used in oriental perfumes.
