Tolu balm, derived from the resin of the South American tree Myroxylon balsamum, is a treasured ingredient in perfumery and aromatics. Its scent profile is rich and complex, often described as warm, sweet, and resinous with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Tolu balm brings a slightly spicy and balsamic depth to fragrances, giving them an enveloping, cozy quality reminiscent of amber. It is commonly used in oriental and woody compositions, enhancing perfumes with its lush, velvety texture. This balm also pairs beautifully with other resinous notes like frankincense or sweet elements like benzoin, contributing to an alluring and sophisticated olfactory experience.
