Resinoid Olfactive description
In addition to the typical warm, balsamic profile with vanilla facets, Benzoin Sumatra extracts are more spicy and cinnamic but less gourmand than Benzoin Siam extracts.
This resinoid has a powdery specificity.
Sweet, delicate, with a slightly cinnamic profile, Benzoin is a typical ambery-balsamic key ingredient for perfumery.
It can be used to boost oriental and ambery notes in composition.
Benzoin Sumatra is particularly suitable for body care applications.
A primary extraction with volatile solvent on fresh or dry biomass yields to a Concrete or Resinoid.
The Absolute is obtained via a second purification step in the process.
Extracted part: gum.
