Key Ingredients for Balsamic Notes

How are they Made

While some balsamic notes are derived directly from natural resins, others require additional processing. Here's a general overview:

1. Harvesting: The resin or balsam is extracted from the plant source.

2. Purification: Impurities and unwanted elements are removed.

3. Distillation: The desired aromatic compounds are extracted through steam distillation or solvent extraction.

4. Blending: The extracted essential oils or resinoids are often blended with other ingredients to create the desired balsamic note.

Balsamic notes are typically found in the heart or base notes of a fragrance, providing depth, warmth, and longevity. They are commonly used in oriental, woody, and chypre fragrance families. They can also add complexity to floral and fruity compositions.
