Lao Benzoin is the resin extracted from the Styrax tonkinensis tree. Lao benzoin, also known as “Siam benzoin”, is considered the highest grade of Benzoin and is used in fragrances for perfumes and other such products. Benzoin is also used in incense and for oriental herbal medicines, but the Lao benzoin quality is rare and highly sought after. It grows in the highlands of Laos as a late emerging species in rotational agriculture systems.
