Styrax (or more correctly storax) resinoid is a sweet and delicate material which blends wonderfully with the other classic perfumery resins; it works well as a fixative (especially for iris notes).
These days most extracts on the market suffer from a pronounced styrene note (the plastic smell of polystyrene) which, being far from the genuine odour of styrax, more closely resembles the smell of an old mechanic's shop. As pleasant an odour as that may be for some, it has no place in the scent profile of styrax.
This styrax resinoid is sweet, cinnamic, vanilla, subtly spicy and enticing. It is extracted from the raw balsam of wild Liquidambar styraciflua trees (commonly known as American sweetgum or hazel pine) using just-warm alcohol (hence the EAL designation in the name). This produces a “resin absolute” as opposed to a true resinoid or absolute. However, the market has generally taken to referring to these styrax materials as resinoids and so we are using the name of the manufacturer. The proper naming conventions for all balsams is:
Crude Balsam → Steam Distillation → Essential Oil
Crude Balsam → Non-Ethanol Solvent Extraction → Resinoid
Crude Balsam → Ethanol Extraction → Resin Absolute [and sometimes resinoid]
While a resin absolute is often wrongly referred to simply as an "absolute", the correct use of that term within the balsams category is for an alcohol extraction of a previously extracted resinoid (usually produced with hexane or other non-alcohol solvent).
Resinoid → Alcohol Extraction → Absolute
Our wild harvested styrax resin absolute is the finest extraction on the market. Nothing else comes close. This is so good you will start looking for opportunities to feature it in a fragrance.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

Customer Reviews
This styrax is amazing. It adds a lovely resinous touch to my amber based fragrances. It's a must have
This is one of the best styrax I've smelled. It really feels like home in the Fahrenheit formula and is downright beautiful and addicting! Definitely recommend.
Complex, soft, fresh and honeyed. Very high quality which I'll be switching to.
Purchased this to replace the Cuir Firmenich note needed in Jaime’s Fahrenheit formula and it works beautifully.
The styrene note is softer and not loud like other styrax materials from other sources. It has a soft sweet leathery aroma and it’s almost a perfume all on its own. Plan to purchase this again.
I love having the fixative properties of styrene without the off-note. This is going straight into an amber base for floral ambers.
