Storax Essential Oil! Beautiful Amber, Honey and spice notes. Pure-Artisan distilled in-house from fresh resin. Storax Formosana. Blends beautifully with floral oils and Amber accords.
This Storax does not have the sharp Styrene notes that distinguish our North American Liquidambar styractiflua resin. It has a lovely Amber heart and soft floral fruity notes that blend easily with most other essential oils.
Many experts consider Storax-Liquidambar the Stacte or "Nataf" of the Old Testament and one of the ingredients in the Holy Temple incense-Ketoreth
Formosa Storax Essential oil is perfect for preparing alcohol-based and oil-based perfumes as well as solid perfumes, balms, salves and more. It can be used to prepare incense papers or as a dip for blank incense sticks.

When I opened the bottle I got hit with cinnamon scented gasoline! It is very well described as being like styrax but without the cloying styrene note which is exactly why I bought it. It starts with a mix of spicy amber but oscillates between fruity notes but has a sweet fuel note that reminds me of palo santo (except not like kerosene). It’s elusive in that when you apply it the scent comes and goes but lasts quite a while. Very versatile material that blends well with almost anything I’ve tried.
Exactly as Dan Described - another Epic…
Amazing, beautiful oil. I love it.

I'm so glad I found this styrax essential oil because I can use it as a benzoin substitute in my perfumes. Benzoin comes in a resinoid format which is difficult to use in perfumes, it makes the perfumes sticky and hard to disffuse the scent, which doesnt happen with esential oils.
the smell is almost exactly the same as benzoin.
