Benzoin Siam Tincture

Benzoin Siam Tincture is a natural aromatic extract obtained by macerating premium Benzoin Siam Gum (Styrax tonkinensis) in ethanol. This traditional extraction process captures the resin's characteristic sweet balsamic aroma, creating a fragrant liquid widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, personal care products, and incense applications.

The tincture possesses a warm, rich, and comforting scent profile with distinctive vanilla-like undertones and soft resinous notes. Thanks to its excellent solubility in alcohol and its natural fixative properties, Benzoin Siam Tincture is highly valued by perfumers and formulators seeking authentic botanical ingredients.

Produced from carefully selected resin harvested from sustainably managed benzoin forests in Vietnam, our Benzoin Siam Tincture offers consistent quality, traceability, and exceptional aromatic performance for industrial and artisanal applications.
