BENZOIN (SIAM)
Siam benzoin is a trade name for a resinous material associated with Styrax tonkinensis. Its scent can combine vanilla-like sweetness, powdery warmth and a soft cinnamon-like nuance. Those facets make it a useful reference for understanding sweet balsamic perfumes.
Siam in this name is not a guarantee of Thai origin: documented sources include Laos and Vietnam. Perfumery extracts vary, so the term also does not specify one solvent, concentration or grade. Compared with the spicier direction described for Sumatra benzoin, Siam material often highlights a sweeter, more gourmand impression. In a finished fragrance, the balance still depends on how the resin is combined with woods, flowers and other sweet notes.
