Perfumes with benzoin scent

Pure benzoin is a resin that is obtained by cutting the bark of trees growing in the countries of Southeast Asia: Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, as well as on the islands of Java, Sumatra. These trees, a rare species, reach a height of 20-30 meters. The resin hardens quickly.

Melt benzoin before use. But it is often sold in dissolved form, for which ethyl glycol is used. If benzoin is required to be used for medicinal purposes, it is better to buy it dissolved in wood alcohol, however, it can also be in the form of a resin, melting as needed.

The resin is reddish brown in color and contains benzoic acid, coniferyl benzoate, cinnamyl benzoate and vanillin. And all this together gives a special aroma.

Benzoin has been used for a long time, and like incense and myrrh, when burned, it drives away evil spirits. Siamese benzoic gum is considered the most valuable for its qualities. It has a sweetish balsamic scent and notes of vanilla. It is this resin that is valued in Russia, and received the name - "dew incense", which is used in church rituals.

What is the effect of benzoin on the human body? Benzoin has soothing properties, activates body functions, and stimulates blood circulation. Aromatherapists often use benzoin, they say, for those who are sad or depressed and anxious. It goes especially well with rose oil. Massage with benzoin and rose helps many who are depressed. Benzoin promotes healing of small scratches on the skin, so it can be used to make hand creams. It is useful to know for those who love garden and vegetable garden, love to plant flowers. Indeed, in these cases, both scratches and skin chapping are possible.

In perfumery, benzoin takes pride of place and is mainly found in oriental fragrances, to which it gives warmth and sensuality, so characteristic of the aromas of the East. But besides the aroma, benzoin has well-defined fixing qualities. And this is highly appreciated by perfumers, since it is this quality that slows down the dispersion (weathering) of essential oils and other components.

Especially wonderful are the combinations of benzoin resin with oils of cypress, jasmine, rose, sandalwood, juniper, lemon, coriander, frankincense and other oils. To obtain a valuable essential oil, benzoic resin can be subjected to a special treatment - distillation with alcohol. Benzoin gum is absolutely harmless to humans, so if it is on the list of perfume components, it means that you are safe.
