Benzoin of Siam

Styrax tonkenensis
Benzoin of Siam

Benzoin Siam is less like Benzoin Sumatra and more like true storax, for which it can substitute. It has an intensely sweet fragrance with a floral note, but if burned too quickly, makes a burning plastic smell, so burn on a foil tent over charcoal.
