Description

Gurjam Balsam Light, also known as Gurjun Balsam Light, is a natural fragrance material obtained from Dipterocarpus species. It has a warm, woody, balsamic and earthy character with resinous nuances. Its rich natural profile makes it particularly useful for adding depth and warmth to perfume compositions.

In perfumery, Gurjam Balsam Light is valued for its fixative and base-building properties. It can support woody, balsamic, resinous, amber and oriental accords while helping create a smooth and lasting drydown. It is especially useful in heavier fragrance structures, attars and incense-inspired compositions.
