The Peru balsam scent introduces a rich, warm, and slightly sweet aroma, combining resinous, vanilla-like notes with a hint of spice. This distinctive fragrance is perfect for creating deep, comforting, and opulent products.
Balsam of Peru is sourced from the resin of the Myroxylon balsamum tree, and its aromatic profile comes from compounds such as benzyl cinnamate and cinnamic acid, which give it a warm, balsamic, and slightly floral undertone. It is commonly found in base accords, adding richness and depth to perfumes, candles, and soaps.
Compared to other balsamic notes like benzoin or labdanum, Peru balsam is smoother and sweeter, with a more pronounced vanilla-like aspect. Its comforting, warm scent is ideal for creating cozy, luxurious products with a touch of sophistication.
