Benzoin Oliffac
No stock or price required. Add a batch later only if you want inventory tracking.
Short profile
Creamy vanillic sweetness with soft powdery facets.
Effect in a formula
Provides a persistent balsamic foundation with a fixation role for more volatile components. Particularly useful in amber and oriental structures, it adds fullness to vanilla and tonka themes. In florals it supplies underlying warmth, while incense accords gain a sweeter resinous dimension.
Use and dosage
The supplier suggests 1–10% of the fragrance concentrate for general use. A few percent can provide a warm foundation in floral formulas; oriental compositions may use substantially higher amounts. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.
