Description





Benzoin Resinoid, Siam





An iconic raw material in the world of perfumery, benzoin Siam is a resin famous for its sweet, balsamic, vanilla-like scent, generated by the vanillin it contains. It is also called benzoin Laos, a nod to its origins, as well as benzoin aliboufier. The resin is obtained after cutting the trunk of the Styrax tonkinensis tree, a member of the Styracaceae family. Perched between 800 and 1,600 meters above sea level, this tall tree, growing 25 meters in height, grows wild in Laos, Thailand, and northern Vietnam. A spicier and less subtle variety of the fragrance Styrax paralleloneurum or benzoin Sumatra from Indonesia is used primarily in cleaning products and by the tobacco industry. Before harvesting, the bark tapping or incising is done from top to bottom, letting the resin flow and accumulate in the flap of bark lifted by the tapper.
