Copal Resin

Copal resin is a fragrant, tree-derived material used in incense, perfumes, and varnishes. It has a warm, balsamic, and slightly smoky aroma, often described as reminiscent of frankincense. Copal is harvested from various species of trees native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America.

Fragrances featuring copal resin tend to evoke a sense of warmth, comfort, and introspection. The resinous, balsamic quality can create a feeling of coziness and relaxation, making copal-based scents well-suited for autumn and winter wear, as well as for use in meditation or yoga practices.

Copal is commonly used as a base note in perfumes, providing a warm, resinous, and slightly smoky foundation. It is often paired with other woody, balsamic, or spicy notes to create rich, complex fragrances. Copal is particularly prevalent in incense-inspired, oriental, and amber-based perfumes.
