About

Siam in perfumery refers to a warm, resinous Thai wood used as a distinctive woody base note. Perfumers value it for adding both structural backbone and a characteristic Southeast Asian woody warmth.

Scent Profile

Siam smells of a warm, resinous Thai wood, balsamic rather than a dry, austere timber. A rich balsamic aroma unfolds, sweet, resinous and woody rather than plain dry wood, with a soft wood thread running through its base. Overall it reads warm, resinous and slightly sweet throughout.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Siam is described as a note, indicating a natural material of arboreal origin. The Scent Base characterises it as a Thai wood, situating its origin geographically in Thailand. In practice, it may be used as a natural extract of a regional resinous wood.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Siam predominantly as a base note within the woods and earth family, where it provides structural depth and long-lasting warmth. Siam pairs well with materials such as sandalwood, where its balsamic-woody character can add complexity and a subtle Thai signature to the composition.
