MARKET INFO of Balsam Peru Oil

Latest Market Info: 3/24/23

The balsam peru market is very short and firm right now. Current supply is limited and product has had numerous difficulties in production due to bad weather in Central America. Increased rainfall has caused issues with harvesting gum resins and other materials from trees; the current season has been delayed, and additional delays are expected with similar products from the region.

Description of Balsam Peru Oil

Less viscous than its resinous counterpart, Balsam Peru Oil retains the same sweet, Vanilla-like characteristics expected of Balsam, but in a much more fluid medium. The refined quality allows it to be used in a wide range of flavor and fragrance applications, from chocolate candies to high-end perfumes. Its mellow, balsamic odor makes it particularly popular among Oriental-style perfumes, as the rich scent can compliment more delicate floral ingredients, such as orchid and rose.
