Origin of benzoin, natural extract for perfume industry
Benzoin is a gum derived from Styrax tonkinensis, a tree that grows in northern Laos, in association with rainfed rice growing. It is also cultivated in Vietnam. From April to July, incisions are made in the trees’ bark to tap their resin, and the resulting gum is harvested the following winter.
