Origin

Carob resin is obtained from the Ceratonia siliqua tree, native to the Mediterranean region. The gum is collected from the pods or bark and can be processed into an extract or absolute for perfumery use.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use carob tree resin primarily in the heart and base of compositions to impart sweetness, warmth, and a natural gourmand nuance. It blends well with woods, balsams, and soft florals, and can add depth to amber or oriental accords.
