Notes
Benzoin-resinoid incense
What does this note smell like?
A source-specific name with unresolved identity; use this sensory family for orientation: Warm balsamic resin with vanilla-like sweetness, soft powder and a gently cinnamon-like edge. Benzoin can cushion dry woods or join incense to amber without the burnt-sugar character of caramel. The botanical genus Styrax includes benzoin trees; this does not make the note identical to the balsam called styrax.
