"The essential oil of Benzoin has one of the most characteristic and long-lasting aromas, making it a popular choice in many of the world's most used perfumes. Its most common uses in aromatherapy relate to its ability to care for our skin and nervous system, although it has been used since ancient times as a perfume with great influence on our energetic and spiritual parts, helping us connect with our inner being and the universe."
