Description

Copaiba Balsam Fine Frag is a natural perfumery material valued for its warm, smooth, balsamic, woody and resinous character. It is useful for adding depth and softness to fragrance compositions while creating a natural resinous foundation.

Its aroma combines warm balsamic, woody, resinous, slightly sweet, earthy and smooth facets. The profile is less overtly sweet than materials such as Benzoin or Tolu Balsam, making it useful when a formula needs a more understated woody-resinous effect.

Copaiba Balsam Fine Frag works especially well in woody, amber, balsamic, oriental, resinous and natural-style fragrances. It can support both woody bases and warm floral compositions, while helping create a smooth transition into the drydown.

Perfumers' Tip

Copaiba Balsam Fine Frag is useful for creating a smooth, warm and understated balsamic foundation. Combine it with Olibanum and Myrrh for a natural resinous accord, or pair it with Labdanum and Benzoin for a richer amber structure.

For a woody balsamic composition, try Copaiba Balsam + Cedarwood + Sandalwood + Vetiver + Patchouli. Bergamot and Lavender can add freshness, while Black Pepper and Cardamom can bring out its warm spicy facets.

Because Copaiba Balsam has a soft but persistent resinous character, start at moderate levels and evaluate the complete drydown before increasing the dosage.
