Peru
balsam oil also known as black balsam, quina, tolu, Balsam fir oil, and
balsamo, comes from the balsam of Peru which is a resinous substance obtained
from the tree known as Myroxylon balsamum or Myroxylon pereirae.
This resin is oily in nature and smells like a mixture of clove, cinnamon and
vanilla. This is a unique aromatic combination of sweet and spicy.
Myroxylon genus was originally described in 1753 by
Linnaeus, such description was made using a specimen collected in the province
of Cartagena and named it as Toluifera balsamum. It was
established firstly by Linnaeus filius in 1781, when he described Myroxylon
peruiferum based on a specimen collected by Mutis in South America.
The crude gum resin collected from Myroxylon pereira is subjected to steam distillation to obtain the sweet spicy Peru Balsam oil which has multiple applications for its aroma.
