Amber Paste

I’ve been using Kuumba Made Amber Paste for 30+ years. The consistent quality of this exquisite resin is unmatched. I’m so disappointed. I can’t get larger sizes anymore. Please never stop selling it!!

I am home now that I have found this. I’ve been searching and searching and searching for the perfect perfume and this is IT. I use it on the inner elbow before bed and after a shower I mix it with Kuumba Vanilla Bean lotion and then after applying that I apply the Persian Garden body oil. Heaven. I’m in Heaven. Borrowing from an Amazon review of this: “reminiscent of vanilla, rain-soaked tree bark, butterscotch, and a good, warm hug.”

I first smelled this around 15 years ago. I didn’t care much about perfume before then, but ever since, this has been in my rotation. It’s the one I wear most of the time, especially in the deep dead of winter. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on perfume samples in all price ranges, and there are a few that I’ve found enjoyable enough to buy bigger bottles; but this is still my favorite scent. It reminds me of the church in PA that my grandparents went to when I was a child. It was old and beautiful with stone exterior, one of those places that felt sacred. Inside, it smelled like sweet wood and incense. I’m not very religious, but I loved that place.

I will say that a few of my other favorite perfumes are also by Kuumba Made; Golden Sky is another favorite. My summer scent this year was a blend of black coconut, lavender lace, and sandalwood.

Wish the big bottles were still being sold i ran back to a local place that sold them and the owner told me she had to pull the last bunch for herself ....i totally get it but mannn I was hoping there were still some left ....this is a very calming therapeutic scent for me. ♡

I'm sad to see no more big bottles as before.
