Benzoin

Benzoin is a resin derived from the bark of certain trees, primarily from the genera Styrax. It has a warm, sweet, and balsamic fragrance, often reminiscent of vanilla and rich spices. Used in perfumery as a fixative, benzoin enhances the longevity of scents and adds depth to compositions. It is commonly found in oriental and gourmand fragrances, complementing notes like amber, incense, and various spices. Additionally, benzoin is valued in aromatherapy for its soothing properties and is used in candles and other scented products.
