Peru balm does not come from Peru. It is collected in Central America, chiefly El Salvador. The name dates from the colonial trade, when the balsam was shipped to Europe through Peruvian ports.

01 · Origin

Myroxylon balsamum var. pereirae is a tall tree of the legume family, Fabaceae, native to Central and South America. Tolu Balm (No. 2890) comes from the same species. This balsam is from wild trees in El Salvador.

02 · Process

The balsam is a natural exudation. The bark is wounded to induce flow, and the balsam is gathered from the trunk. It is not distilled. Benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate, together known as cinnamein, form the main fraction, with cinnamic acid, benzoic acid and trans-nerolidol.

03 · In Practice

Thick, dark and syrupy. Warm the bottle gently to ease pouring. Rich, sweet and balsamic, with vanilla and cinnamon tones. A tenacious base note and fixative for perfume work. Used at low concentration in massage blends and incense formulation. Blends with vanilla, benzoin, tonka, ylang ylang, rose, sandalwood and orange.
