🌱 Product Description
Styrax Tonkinensis Oil, commonly known as Tonkin Benzoin Oil, is a rich, sweet, and balsamic resinous oil derived from the resin of the Styrax tonkinensis tree. This oil is prized in perfumery for its warm, vanilla-like, and slightly spicy aroma with notes of cinnamon and benzoin.
It serves as an excellent fixative and base note in natural and oriental fragrance blends, providing a long-lasting, comforting scent. Beyond perfumery, Styrax Tonkinensis Oil is valued for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, widely used in aromatherapy and traditional medicine.
