Balsam
Balsam presents a rich, warm, and deeply resinous aroma, often possessing facets that range from sweet and vanillic (Peru Balsam) to smoky and leathery, or even green and pine-like (Fir Balsam). Its texture is perceived as thick, viscous, and sticky, translating into a scent profile that feels grounding and enveloping. The intensity is typically moderate to strong, unfolding slowly over time as a classic base note. It has excellent longevity, clinging to the skin or fabric for many hours, and provides a comforting, persistent warmth. Projection is usually moderate, creating a personal aura rather than an overwhelming sillage. It evolves by softening and blending with other notes, becoming more integrated and less sharp over its wear time.
