Copaiba balsam brazil smells like warm, balsamic spice with peppery notes.
Luebke, William tgsc, (1989): Woody balsam labdanum
Indukern F&F: Woody, balsamic, labdanum
Pell Wall Perfumes: Balsamic, woody, labdanum, spicy.
One of very few natural ingredients used just as it occurs in nature, without processing. more correctly called an oleoresin than a balsam, it is a mobile liquid produced from copaifera langsdorffi and reticulata. it gives an extremely long-lasting woody-balsamic note with similarities to labdanum and a spicy undertone and is an excellent natural fixative.
