Styrax Essential Oil, developed by dsm-firmenich's Natural Ingredients Innovation Center, redefines the aromatic complexity of traditional styrax extracts. This oil delivers a richer, more intense profile, characterized by soft yet not overly sweet tones, light animalic accents, and an amplified cinnamic presence. Its unique scent is achieved through pyrogenation, a process that intensifies warm, leathery, and balsamic notes while creating a radiant dry-down. Unlike conventional perfumery, which emphasizes top-note preservation and raw material freshness, pyrogenation shifts the focus toward heavier, deep, and pyrogenized elements.

Sustainably sourced from liquidambar trees in Honduras, Styrax resin is collected by local tappers who carefully incise the tree trunks during spring, gathering the sap throughout the summer. The raw gum is then filtered by cooperatives and distilled by local suppliers, ensuring a transparent and eco-conscious supply chain.

Styrax Essential Oil is a versatile and luxurious ingredient with a rich, sweet, balsamic, floral, and spicy aroma profile. Its intensified warm and leathery qualities make it ideal for crafting deep, sophisticated fragrance compositions.
