Benzoin absolute is a rich, balsamic resin obtained from the bark of trees in the Styrax family, which are found primarily in Southeast Asia. It has a warm, sweet and slightly vanilla-like scent, making it a popular ingredient in perfumery. Benzoin absolute is often used as a fixative because it helps stabilize and extend the life of fragrances. The comforting scent fits beautifully into oriental, gourmand and woody compositions.
In addition to perfumery, benzoin absolute is also valued in aromatherapy for its calming and grounding properties.
