Botanical informations

Botanical name :

Myroxylon balsamum (L.) Harms

Botanical profile :

Extracted from a tree in the Myroxylon L.f. genus, Peru balsam is part of the Fabaceae family — the same botanical group as tonka, mimosa, broom, fenugreek, and other balsamic species.

Chemotypes :

The genus Myroxylon L.f. only contains two species :
Myroxylon balsamum var.pereirae : Perou balsam resinoid
Myroxylon balsamum var. toluiferum : Tolu balsam resinoid
Myroxylon peruiferum : very rare in perfumery

Extractions & Uses

Extraction process :

The explotation of balsam trees begins when the tree reaches 20 to 30 years because the trunk has a greater width and therefore, yield is better. The local people, called "balsameros", are responsible for strategically incising (V-shaped incision) the trunk of the tree causing an immune response and allowing the exsudation of a brown balm. This incision is usually made from January to May during the dry season and from May to September during the rainy season. Following the incision, the farmers come to apply an inflamed torch on the wounded surface. This step is essential otherwise the balm would not exhilarate. Then, they put rags directly on the trunk to collect the balm by absorbing all of the exsudate for a few weeks. Afterwards, the rags are collected and boiled to separate the balm from the fabrics.
After the balm is collected, it is diluted in alcohol to precipitate heavy and insoluble bodies. Precipitation is favored by glazing, which means subjecting the balm-alcohol mixture to a temperature gradient of 140 °F to 32 °F to obtain the resinoid.
Peru Resinoid can be distilled to be bleached, without a great olfactory deterioration -> Peru Balsam EO

Uses in perfumery :

Used as a fixative for amber and vanilla notes or in floral compositions, or to bring an animalic facet to a balsamic note.

Other comments :

The resin is extracted by incising the Balsam of Peru, which can reach 25 to 30 meters in height. This resin is used to heal the bark of the tree.
The smell of Peru resin is more animalic than the Tolu Balsam Resinoid one, more greedy and caramelized.
In the 16th century, the Popes Pius IV and Pius V authorized the use of this balm to consecrate the holy chrism (sagrada chrisma), a mixture of essential oils used for baptism, confirmation and ordination.
