Odor: characteristic
Use: Mark Evans has this to say “This is the actual balsam (known as the crude balsam) extracted directly from the Myroxylon tree (literally “fragrant wood” in Greek). A balsam is just a resin that has a high essential oil content so that it becomes a thick, mobile liquid rather than solid and crystalline. This balsam has a tar-like consistency that becomes pourable with heat. Also available are peru balsam essential oil and peru balsam absolute (also known as resinoid).

Use: Balsam Peru has a sweet, balsamic, woody aroma. This particular Balsam Peru is made to be a pourable resin, making it much easier to work and blend with. Balsam Peru's wonderfully soft aroma is often used in perfumes and is a great addition to many floral blends.

Notes:
Peru Balsam should not be used for products that come in contact with the skin. You may use the peru balsam oil but only in very small quantities. Peru Balsam is a pathological product which exudes from the trunk of the large Central American tree, Myroxylon Pereirae, when the bark is removed section wise from the tree. The exudation is collected in a very crude manner and is only coarsely purified locally by treatment with boiling water. tsca definition 2008: extractives and their physically modified derivatives. it consists primarily of resins, essential oils, and usually cinnamic and benzoic acids. (myroxylon balsamum pereirae, leguminosae). used in treatment of radiation skin injuries in ussr.
