Peru Balsam Absolute

Peru balsam absolute is a highly fragrant natural extract derived from the resin of the Myroxylon balsamum tree, native to Central and South America, particularly El Salvador and Peru. This aromatic absolute is obtained by solvent extraction from the resinous material the trees produce. Peru balsam absolute is renowned for its warm, rich, and sweet aroma, with a complex blend of vanilla, cinnamon, and clove-like notes that impart a comforting, exotic scent profile.

Not only favored in perfumery for its deep, resinous, somewhat spicy characteristics, Peru balsam absolute is also appreciated in aromatherapy for its soothing qualities which are believed to help calm the mind and lift the spirit. The scent is robust, providing a strong base or fixative note that blends exceptionally well with floral, woody, and spicy oils, enhancing depth and warmth in sophisticated fragrance compositions. Its sensuous and slightly medicinal aroma makes it a popular choice in the formulation of oriental and woody perfumes.

Due to its rich scent and therapeutic properties, this absolute is also used in various cosmetic and skincare formulations, adding a touch of luxury and efficacy in products meant for healing and rejuvenation.
