Smells of: sweet, balsamic, warm
Role: balsamic base, fixative

Benzoin Siam Resinoid opens with a warm, sweet, and balsamic aroma that has a comforting, almost vanilla-like quality. As it develops, it reveals a rich, resinous depth that adds a soft, creamy texture to compositions. This material is excellent for rounding out and softening harsher notes, making it a great choice for oriental and gourmand fragrances. It pairs well with other resins, such as myrrh or labdanum, and can enhance the sweetness of florals and spices. Typically used at a dose of 1.500% to 1.50%, it provides a lasting warmth that helps anchor a formula without overpowering it.
