POTM: Benzoin Resinoid Laos Matured by Synarome
22 May 2025
This May, we’re spotlighting a truly exceptional ingredient: Benzoin Resinoid Laos Matured from Synarome. Harvested from the Styrax tonkinensis tree in the highlands of Laos, this resinoid embodies a rich heritage.
Benzoin Resinoid has long served as a cornerstone in perfumery and incense, with its sweet balsamic and vanilla facets offering both warmth and depth to fragrance compositions. It is also a useful fixative so can not only enhance longevity but also harmonize diverse olfactory notes, making it indispensable.
Beyond its aromatic allure, Benzoin Resinoid is celebrated for its soothing qualities, often utilized in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and well-being.
Synarome, long known for their historical specialties like Animalis and Ambrarome Absolut are extending their portfolio to include top quality naturals. They have taken a Laos Benzoin Resinoid sourced via their exclusive partnership with Agroforex and matured it for a further 24 months, thus enhancing the smokiness and vanilla characters and creating an ingredient that deserves its own place in the perfumers’ pallet, alongside the standard quality.
At Stort Group, we are proud to offer this matured resinoid from our partner of almost 30 years, reflecting our commitment to sourcing ingredients that combine tradition, quality, and sustainability.
