About this material
Peru Balsam Resinoid opens with a warm, sweet, and slightly balsamic aroma that has a rich, comforting quality. As it develops, the scent reveals a deeper, resinous character with hints of vanilla and a subtle smokiness, which adds complexity to the overall profile. In a formula, it acts as a fixative and adds a soft, enveloping warmth that enhances both floral and woody notes, making them feel more rounded and cohesive. It pairs well with other resins like labdanum and frankincense, as well as with sweet florals and spices. The typical usage in this catalogue is between 0.090% and 0.49%, usually around 0.110%.
