Benzoin Siam
Used in 4 formulas
About this material
Benzoin Siam opens with a rich, sweet, and balsamic aroma that has a warm, resinous quality reminiscent of vanilla and caramel. As it develops, the scent becomes smoother and creamier, with a slight powderiness that adds a comforting depth. In a formula, it acts as a fixative and base note, providing longevity and a soft, enveloping warmth that rounds out sharper edges. It pairs well with other resins, vanillic notes, and even some florals, enhancing their sweetness without overpowering them. Typically used at around 2.000%, it works effectively to anchor compositions and create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
