Benzoin Sumatra Resin – The Ancient Sacred Scent

Harvested from the mighty Benzoin trees, this resin has been treasured for centuries for its warm, musky, vanilla-like aroma. When dried, it carries a deep, sweet fragrance that lingers in the air, making it a favorite among incense lovers and makers alike.

The Benzoin tree itself is a beauty—its bell-shaped white flowers fill the air with a divine scent each spring. But the real magic lies within its resin. To extract it, small incisions are made in the trunks of 6 to 7-year-old trees, allowing the golden-white sap to seep out. Once hardened, this sacred resin is either kept in its raw form or finely ground into a powder for various uses.

Long before the Portuguese encountered it in the 14th century, Benzoin was revered by East Indian cultures as a sacred offering. It was traded like gold, used in spiritual rituals, and infused into soaps, lotions, and healing balms—just as we do today.

A must-have for any incense enthusiast, ritual practitioner, or botanical alchemist, Benzoin brings the essence of ancient traditions into modern hands.
