This material comes in small hardened tears and irregularities, with a fresh, green, and deeply resinous aroma, accompanied by balsamic, woody, slightly bitter nuances, and a characteristic terpenic facet reminiscent of fresh sap and conifer branches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is a very versatile material for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003enatural perfumery, tinctures, and incense\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. It can be crushed and macerated in alcohol to make an aromatic tincture, capable of adding green, balsamic, woody, and resinous notes to a composition.
