Benzoin Sumatra resinoid has a warm, balsamic aroma with a distinctive blend of sweet vanilla, smoky undertones, and a spicy edge, largely due to its content of cinnamic acid alongside benzoic acid. This cinnamic acid contributes a subtle cinnamon-like sharpness that sets it apart from the more common Siamese variety, giving Benzoin Sumatra a rugged, slightly resinous depth with a hint of smokiness In comparison to Benzoin Siam, Sumatra's thicker, darker consistency and reddish hue further reflect its robust character, appealing to perfumers seeking a bold, anchoring base note. Benzoin Sumatra is ideal for grounding spicy, oriental, or woody perfume compositions. Due to its thickness, we offer it at 50% in natural TEC making it ISO 2935 compliant.
