Siam is an evocative fragrance accord drawn from the rich aromatic heritage of Southeast Asia, most notably referencing Siam benzoin — a balsamic resin harvested from Styrax tonkinensis trees in Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Sometimes also evoking Siam wood, the accord carries the warm, sweet, resinous character of this ancient trading region. Benzoin resin has been used in incense, medicine, and perfumery for thousands of years.
In perfumery, Siam notes are rich, sweet, and warmly balsamic, with pronounced vanilla-like facets and a smooth, almost edible resinous depth. The scent is enveloping and comforting, with a subtle smokiness and incense-like quality that adds spiritual depth to any composition. It is a beloved base note, used to anchor oriental and amber fragrances, and to add radiant warmth to florals, musks, and woods.

Whether you're drawn to its vanilla-sweet warmth or its incense-tinged mystery, our high-quality inspirations deliver the full experience of Siam's balsamic splendor at an accessible price.
