Peru Balsam Absolute Resinoid DM EP

Original designation: Pérou RDE ABS DM EP

Myroxylon balsamum var. pereirae

Peru balsam is a whole amber accord hidden in a tree exudate: vanilla, cinnamon, powder, leather and soft smoke fused into a tenacious warmth. It lends sweetness with history and texture, never the flatness of sugar alone.

Extraction & expression

This designation sits between absolute and resinoid practice: a concentrated solvent extract with the full body of dry botanical or resinous matter and the polish of subsequent purification. Molecular or short-path distillation selects the profile under high vacuum, often refining colour and separating lighter from heavier registers.
