Gurjun Balsam Dark - Gurjunene

Gurjun Balsam Dark – Gurjunene is a distinctive resinous material derived from the oleoresin of Dipterocarpus spp., prized not only for its aromatic character but also for its performance as a natural fixative in perfumery. Selected for its Alpha Gurjunene-dominant profile, this material offers a drier, sharper, and more terpene-like expression compared to warmer Copaene-rich Gurjun varieties.

Its aroma combines woody, resinous, earthy, and aromatic facets with subtle balsamic warmth, creating a profile that is both powerful and highly versatile. The Gurjunene-rich character introduces freshness and structure while maintaining the depth expected from traditional balsamic materials.

In fragrance creation, Gurjun Balsam Dark – Gurjunene serves as an excellent natural fixative, helping to anchor more volatile notes and extend the longevity of a composition. It is particularly effective in oud accords, incense fragrances, woody ambers, leather compositions, and oriental perfumes where both depth and persistence are desired.

Blending beautifully with agarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, frankincense, cedarwood, tobacco, and smoky materials, this unique Gurjun selection adds authenticity, structure, and lasting woody-resinous richness to fine fragrance creations.
