Резиноїд стираксу
Dark, balsamic-leathery with a raw, almost animalic warmth. Styrax resinoid smells like old leather soaked in cinnamon-scented balsam — smoky, sweet, primitive.

Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Solvent extraction of the bark or crude balsam. The balsam is obtained by wounding the bark of Liquidambar trees and collecting the exudate. Production is limited — Levant storax from Turkey is increasingly scarce. The American species (L. styraciflua) is more available but yields a different, lighter product.

У парфумерії
Base note in leather, amber, and incense compositions. Styrax resinoid provides dark, balsamic-leathery depth. It is central to classic leather accords alongside birch tar and castoreum. In incense compositions, it adds a darker, more animalic quality than frankincense. Works in chypre bases, smoky ambers, and compositions evoking antiquity. Powerful fixative.
