Product Overview

Benzoin Essential Oil—revered across India as Loban and prized globally in haute perfumery—is a rich, velvety, deeply comforting aromatic oil obtained from the balsamic resin tears of Styrax benzoin and Styrax tonkinensis. Functioning as both an opulent base note and one of perfumery’s premier natural fixatives, it delivers a warm, sweet, creamy vanilla-caramel bouquet layered with honeyed-amber, warm cinnamon-spice, and soft smoky-incense undertones.
