Balsamic Perfumes

Not vinegar. Moreover, balsamic in perfumery refers to warm, sweet, resinous materials that have been burned in temples and homes for thousands of years. Benzoin, styrax, Peru balsam, frankincense, myrrh, and labdanum all belong here. Furthermore, they smell like warm vanilla with a resinous, slightly smoky edge. Think incense in a cold church. Think bakhoor in an Emirati living room. These are the oldest scent materials on earth. Consequently, balsamic notes act as natural fixatives. They make fragrances last longer by slowing the evaporation of lighter notes above them. 
However, balsamic is also a bridge category. It sits between the sweetness of gourmand and the smoke of woody. As a result, our balsamic collection suits buyers who find gourmands too sweet and ouds too dark. The warmth is there. The heaviness is not. Explore our balsamic perfumes at Oudora.
