Description

Peru Balsam Absolute is a rich natural perfumery material valued for its sweet, warm, balsamic and vanilla-like character. It is widely used to add softness, warmth and depth to fragrance compositions, particularly in rich and comforting base accords.

Its aroma combines sweet balsamic, vanilla-like, warm, resinous, slightly cinnamon-like and soft woody facets. The profile has a smooth, rounded quality that can help soften sharper materials while giving a composition a warm and cohesive drydown.

Peru Balsam Absolute works especially well in amber, oriental, gourmand, vanilla, balsamic, woody and floral fragrances. It can also support warm spicy accords and add richness to floral compositions.

Perfumers' Tip

Peru Balsam Absolute is excellent for creating a warm, sweet and smooth balsamic base. Combine it with Benzoin, Vanilla and Tonka Bean for a creamy gourmand effect, or pair it with Labdanum and Olibanum for a deeper amber-resinous accord.

For a warm floral composition, try Peru Balsam Absolute + Rose + Jasmine + Sandalwood + Benzoin. Cinnamon, Cardamom and Clove can emphasize its spicy warmth, while Patchouli and Vetiver can provide earthy depth.

Because Peru Balsam Absolute has a rich and naturally sweet character, start at moderate levels and increase gradually during evaluation to maintain balance and avoid making the composition overly heavy.
