Peru Balsam
Peru balsam suggests a dense sweet balsamic scent with vanilla-like, cinnamic and gently resinous facets. It is warmer and more rounded than a fresh citrus-resin note.

It deepens amber, gourmand and spicy compositions and softens dry woods or leather effects.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
The natural balsam is a tree-derived aromatic material. A perfume’s balsamic effect may also use reconstructions or selected ingredients, so a note listing does not establish the natural material.
