Benzoin

Benzoin is a resin obtained from various plants of the genus Styrax. Its addictive smell, vanilla, amber, warm and sweet, makes Benzoin the most common raw material in perfumes.

Long reduced to the rank of odor-fixing agents, Benzoin today takes all its letters of nobility in the greatest perfumes where it brings with delight and bewitching its sometimes warm and milky or powdery and spicy notes. It is used as a so-called "oriental" note for Siam benzoin, and aromas, especially cigarettes, for Sumatran benzoin.

It is one of the ingredients present in our Aries, Taurus, Capricorn fragrances!
