Somewhat stronger and sweeter than that of the crude labdanum, and the "burnt" notes of the botanical raw material are subdued or eliminated in the odor of this extract.

Lower grades have odor characteristics in common with Styrax (more harsh odor than Almond benzoin). Coarser product suitable for harsh-balsamic, sharp-floral type perfumes.
