The resins and balsams of ancient times form a cornerstone of exquisite perfumes, especially those with an Oriental base. These soft-smelling ingredients - from vanilla and benzoin to Peru and Tolu balsam - bring a gentle, enveloping character to the blend. When used in abundance, they can make floral scents last even longer. Heavier, resinous balsams, including opoponax, frankincense, myrrh, birch tar, elemi and styrax, are those with lingering trails that add depth. Derived from tree bark as crystalised resin "tears," they lend particularly well to woody fragrances.
