Copahu Balm/Copaïba

Copahu balm, also known as copaïba, is a warm and resinous fragrance note with a rich, woody scent profile that carries subtle balsamic and slightly spicy undertones. Its aroma is smooth, grounding, and complex, adding a natural and exotic quality to perfumes. Copahu balm imparts a soft, ambery warmth and is often used as a middle or base note to create depth and longevity in fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with woody, floral, and spicy notes, contributing to fragrances that are warm, elegant, and full of character.

History & Production: Copahu balm is sourced from the Copaifera tree, native to the tropical rainforests of South America, particularly Brazil. The resin is obtained by tapping the tree, allowing the natural oleoresin to flow out. This resin is then distilled to create an essential oil with a rich, earthy aroma. In modern perfumery, copahu balm is valued for its warm, resinous scent that adds depth and an exotic, grounding quality, evoking the lush landscapes of the Amazon and enhancing the complexity of fragrances.
