Peru balsam is produced almost exclusively in El Salvador in a quantity of about
100 t/yr. The oil yield from the balsam is about 50%. Major components
are benzyl benzoate and benzyl cinnamate. Nerolidol and vanillin contribute to the odor.
The oil is used for its excellent fixative properties in perfumes for soap and cosmetics.
Use of Peru balsam is banned because it is allergenic.
