This pack is a perfect introduction to the use of benzoin resin in perfumes. Benzoin is one of the core ingredients in the classic amber accord, as well as a perfect companion for vanilla in woody compositions. Overall it gives a perfume a soft radiant, subtly powdery, vanillic, old books touch.
The pack includes a benzoin specimen (8% solution)*, a strip of Papier d’Armenie**
* DISCLAIMER: the included sample of benzon resin is for smelling and educational purposes only. Do not put it onto your skin (please use a paper blotter), in your eyes or in your mouth.
**Papier de Armenie is essentially incense paper which has been soaked in benzoin resinoid. It can be burned to release its rich aroma or it can be used in a confined space to infuse a subtle note of benzoin.
The pack contains 7 x 1 ml samples:
- PG25 Indochine by Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie GénéraleHoneyed woods

All about this fragrance
Benzoin Pack’s concept
This pack was curated to introduce benzoin as both a perfumery material and a thread connecting contrasting compositions. Its role in classic amber accords and woody vanilla perfumes forms the starting point; the selection then explores its honeyed, smoky, balsamic and softly powdery facets. Pairing the fragrances with an 8% benzoin specimen and Papier d’Armenie allows the resin’s own aroma to serve as a reference for understanding its presence in each composition.
