🧪 Ingredients
Benzoin, known for its sweet and balsamic aroma, is a valuable resin traditionally used in various cultures. This absolute is presented in a dilution of castor vegetable oil, which facilitates its application and makes it more accessible for use in aromatherapy and natural perfumery. Its origin in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand, gives it a unique identity and a distinctive aromatic profile.
Origin and Botany
Benzoin absolute is characterized by its rich, sweet, vanilla-like, and balsamic aroma, with resinous and sometimes floral undertones. It is a popular base note in perfumery, known for its ability to fix other aromas and add depth and warmth to compositions. Its fragrance is considered enveloping and may evoke a sense of comfort and tranquility. In a blend, it tends to linger, providing a sweet and resinous dimension that harmonizes well with citrus, woody, and spicy essences.

🧪 Ingredients
Benzoin, or *Styrax benzoin*, is a tree belonging to the Styracaceae family, native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, including Sumatra, Thailand, and Laos. The resin is extracted from the tree trunk by making incisions, from which a gummy substance exudes and hardens upon contact with air. This resin is then processed to obtain the absolute, an aromatic concentrate that captures the pure essence of Benzoin. The dilution in castor oil seeks to preserve its properties while offering a more manageable formulation for the end-user.
