1 perfumes

Balsamic notes serve as the resinous, viscous backbone of complex compositions, offering a rich profile that balances sweet, woody, and medicinal facets. Belonging to the Oriental and Ambery olfactive families, these notes provide a deep, syrupy warmth that lingers on the skin with remarkable tenacity. They pair naturally with spicy notes like cardamom or dry woods, grounding lighter top notes and adding a sophisticated, velvety texture to the base. In the Gulf, balsamic profiles are essential for balancing the intensity of pure oud oils, providing a smooth, resinous bridge that softens the animalic edges of traditional mukhallats. These notes truly shine during the cooler desert evenings, where their slow, steady evaporation creates a long-lasting, opulent trail that withstands the dry heat and complements the elegance of formal gatherings.
