Collection: Peru Balsam

Peru balsam is a rich, resinous note prized for its warm blend of vanilla, cinnamon and soft balsamic sweetness. It gives fragrances a golden, enveloping depth that feels both comforting and luxurious.

Peru balsam, extracted from the Myroxylon balsamum tree, offers a warm and inviting aroma to perfumes. Its scent, rich in sweetness and resinous depth, carries soft notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and gentle woods. This ingredient is renowned for its ability to ground and enhance compositions, creating balance and smoothness in a variety of fragrance styles.

The resin of Peru balsam is gathered from trees native to Central and South America. The process begins by carefully incising the bark of mature trees, allowing the aromatic resin to exude naturally. Once collected, the raw material undergoes a refinement process involving heating and filtration. This method preserves the complexity of the resin, resulting in a versatile and richly scented product used in perfumery.
