What is benzoin?
Benzoin is a natural aromatic resin extracted from Styrax trees, which grow primarily in tropical regions. The benzoin used by Papier d’Arménie comes from Laos.
Renowned for its warm, balsamic fragrance, this resin has been used for centuries in perfumery, incense, and air purification traditions.
The benefits of benzoin resin
Purifies indoor air
Thanks to its sanitizing and antiseptic properties, benzoin resin naturally purifies the air in your home, for a healthy environment every day.
Neutralizes bad odors
Benzoin is particularly effective at neutralizing odors from:
- Tobacco
- Kitchen (fish, fried food, garbage…)
- Animals
- Humidity
Rather than simply masking odors, it helps to eliminate them naturally.
Create a relaxing and soothing atmosphere
Its sweet, slightly vanilla and balsamic fragrance creates a warm and soothing atmosphere.
Benzoin resin is ideal for creating a moment of calm, a cozy atmosphere or accompanying a meditation session.
Natural alternative
Without chemicals or synthetic perfumes, benzoin is a natural solution, respectful of indoor air and the environment.
