Benzoin
Description
Benzoin is a resinous balsam derived from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax. It has a warm, sweet, and slightly vanilla-like aroma with hints of cinnamon and caramel. Benzoin is prized for its ability to fix and enhance other fragrance notes.
How it feels
Benzoin-based fragrances tend to have a comforting, cozy, and nostalgic effect. They are often associated with feelings of relaxation and coziness, making them suitable for cool weather and intimate settings. Benzoin can add depth and richness to a fragrance, making it a popular choice for base notes in both feminine and masculine scents.
Use in perfumery
Benzoin is commonly used as a base note in perfumes, where it helps to anchor and prolong the scent. It is often paired with other warm, resinous notes like vanilla, amber, and incense. Benzoin is particularly prevalent in oriental, gourmand, and woody fragrances, where it adds depth, creaminess, and a sense of comfort.
