What it smells like

Balsam of Peru offers a warm, woody coniferous aroma with rich ambery undertones, blended with cinnamon, vanilla and subtle floral hints. It feels plush and slightly sweet, yet dry in the middle before mellowing into a green olive, earthier base. Perfumers use it to anchor oriental accords, deepen vanilla and give a soft resinous finish.

Balsam of Peru is listed in 13 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the base, heart and top positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with tonka bean, patchouli, vanilla and benzoin.
