Peru Balsam Oil

About this material

Peru Balsam Oil opens with a warm, sweet, and slightly balsamic scent that has a rich, comforting quality. As it develops, the sweetness deepens, revealing a soft, resinous character that adds a smooth, rounded depth to compositions. It works well as a fixative, enhancing the longevity of fragrances while providing a warm, inviting base. This oil pairs nicely with vanilla, tonka bean, and other sweet notes, as well as with woody elements like cedar and sandalwood, creating a harmonious blend. In this catalogue, it is typically used at a dose of around 0.240%, with a range from 0.110% to 0.96%.
