Product description

Siam Benzoin BIO by Damascena has a warm, soft and balsamic fragrance with hints of cocoa and vanilla. Obtained from the resin of Styrax tonkinensis, this fragrant material is a base note that lends fragrance blends a warm, resinous depth. The product is made by alcohol extraction and supplied as a resin extract in ethanol.

Styrax tonkinensis and benzoin resin

Siam benzoin comes from the resin of the benzoin tree, Styrax tonkinensis. Benzoin resin holds an important place as an incense material in Asia. Alongside the use of the solid resin, alcohol extraction makes its characteristic fragrance available for liquid fragrance compositions.

Damascena describes the quality as certified organic wild collection. The bottle label supplied states the origin as Laos / France. The product is bottled by hand in Switzerland.

Fragrance profile of Siam benzoin extract

At its heart is a warm, balsamic resin fragrance with soft facets reminiscent of vanilla and cocoa. Its sweetness sits within an underlying resinous character. This gives the fragrance a rounded, full quality, particularly suited to compositions with a distinctly warm foundation.

As a base note, Siam benzoin forms the deep, balsamic part of a fragrance blend. Its vanilla-like and cocoa-like scent associations combine with bright citrus notes as well as floral and woody fragrant materials.

Siam benzoin in fragrance compositions

In perfumery, the extract can be used as a balsamic component: it complements sweet fragrance accords, emphasises warm woody notes and gives floral compositions a resinous background. Its facets reminiscent of vanilla and cocoa also suit gourmand fragrances.

Damascena names rose geranium and orange, as well as sandalwood and ylang-ylang, as fragrance partners. Siam benzoin therefore offers a range of creative possibilities, from fruity brightness and floral fullness to soft woody warmth.
