Now this Brazilian resin is a super slow starter and for it to come alive aromatically on an oil burner** it needs a lot of heat and will benefit from breaking or even grinding the resin pieces down in a mortar prior to use. I actually use two tea lights in my burner to give the resin the heat it needs to release the aroma. Within about 40 minutes on the burner the aroma is nothing short of a masterpiece, truly a wow material full of fruity balsamic and soapy floral character, the more heat, the more it melts, and the more it melts the more it resembles smelling the essential oil, even going on to display the full array of sweet and medicinal qualities of the oil. I’d add as well something about this aroma reminds me of the dry down notes you find within the fruitier orientated boronia absolute materials. When it reaches full temperature and starts to bubble you also can clearly detect the leather notes.
