Collection: Resinous Perfumes

Resins are tree sap. Moreover, when a tree is cut or damaged, it bleeds a sticky, aromatic substance to heal itself. Frankincense, myrrh, elemi, copal, labdanum, and pine resin all come from this process. Furthermore, humans have burned these materials for thousands of years in temples, mosques, churches, and homes. The smell is ancient. Our balsamic collection covers the sweeter end benzoin, Peru balsam, and warm vanilla-adjacent resins. This resinous collection covers the full spectrum. Consequently, you will find drier, more bitter, and smokier compositions here. Frankincense can smell sharp and almost citrusy. Myrrh can smell medicinal and dark.

However, resins also provide extreme longevity. They evaporate slowly. A single spray can last all day. As a result, our resinous collection delivers some of the longest-wearing compositions we carry. Explore our resinous perfumes at ZAOUD.
