Collection: South America

A continent of resins, balsams and Amazonian distillates. Some lines we hold in depth, distilled across multiple harvests with growers we have worked with for years. Others are vintage parcels — a single distillation, a single season. The headline oils belong to one botanical family — Burseraceae, the resin trees. Breu Branco from Brazil, the Amazonian Frankincense. Palo Santo from Peru, the tree that lives a hundred years, then lies on the forest floor for another ten before the resin matures inside the deadfall. Copaiba, β-caryophyllene dominant, the grounding base note of the rainforest. Around them, the continental shelf: Rosewood, the perfumer's bridge oil; Tonka, called Cumaru in Brazil; Peru Balm, harvested in El Salvador and named for the wrong country two hundred years ago. Dragon Blood from the Shipibo lineage. Muña, the mint of the Andes. Damiana and Mexican oregano from the deserts further north. Cocoa, Babassu and Chia as the carrier shelf beneath. The forest does not separate trunk from fruit. Neither does the range.
