Benzoin carries a strong olfactory strength. This measures its perceived dominance independent of concentration — a strong material makes its presence felt even in small amounts and can easily lead a composition.

About Benzoin in Perfumery

Benzoin belongs to the oriental family and functions as a base note — the lasting foundation that anchors a composition and lingers longest on the skin. The foundation — deep and lasting. Rooted in the rich traditions of Middle Eastern perfumery, it is prized for its depth and authenticity.
