The gurjun balsam scent is a deep, woody aroma with resinous and slightly sweet undertones, reminiscent of warm forests and earth. It has a smooth, grounding quality that exudes natural elegance.
Extracted from the resin of Dipterocarpus trees, gurjun balsam is rich in sesquiterpenes, giving it a soft, woody profile. As a base note, it enhances longevity and adds a subtle warmth to blends. Compared to Peru balsam, it is less sweet and more woody, making it ideal for earthy and sophisticated creations.
Perfect for grounding candles, calming diffusers, and rich body oils, gurjun balsam pairs beautifully with sandalwood, patchouli, and spicy notes to create serene, natural compositions.
