Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

How does Formosa Storax differ from Black Storax?
Formosa Storax has the same warm, balsamic amber heart as Black Storax but includes fruity and floral notes that give it extra depth and vibrancy. Unlike some Black Storax products, it does not contain the styrene note found in Liquidambar orientalis, which many people find unpleasant.
What does this resin smell like?
Reviewers consistently describe it as having honey-amber, sweet, and fresh aromas with fruity and floral notes. Many note it smells like a luxury perfume and is very calming when burned or diffused.
How do I use Formosa Storax?
It can be used directly on an electric burner (place a small pea-sized piece on foil or a cupcake liner), burned as incense, dissolved in warm oils or waxes for perfumes and balms, or dissolved in alcohol for tinctures. Reviewers note it dissolves well in pure grain alcohol and can be used to prepare incense sticks.
Is this raw and unprocessed?
Yes, Formosa Storax is raw and unprocessed, so you may notice bits of bark and debris in it. To clean it, you can filter it warm through a metal mesh coffee filter when making a tincture or oil extract.
Will it work well in perfume and incense projects?
Yes, multiple reviewers report using it successfully for solid perfumes, balms, and incense making. One experienced customer notes it combines beautifully with fruity and floral agarwoods, sandalwood, and rose.
How should I store it if it's sticky?
If you have difficulty removing it from the bag, place it in the fridge or freezer for about half an hour to firm it up for easier handling.
Does this product come with any sustainably sourced commitment?
