Balsam

Balsam is a resinous substance derived from the bark of certain trees, most notably those belonging to the Balsam family, such as the balsam fir. Balsam is known for its aromatic and medicinal qualities, used historically in traditional medicine and perfumery. The scent profile of balsam is rich, warm, and resinous with woody and sweet undertones. It often carries hints of pine, which lends a fresh, crisp touch to its overall aroma. This makes it a popular choice in the creation of fragrances, particularly in products aimed at evoking a natural and comforting atmosphere. Its soothing properties make it a favorite in aromatherapy, helping in relaxation and stress relief. Balsam's distinctive fragrance is especially cherished during the winter holidays due to its association with the festive season.
