How to use it?
Benzoin from Laos is best used in a blend with other resins. To release the fragrance, it should be heated in an aroma lamp or burned on glowing charcoal.
In an aroma diffuser / aroma lamp (see image):
Fill the bowl to 2/3 with sand. Light the candle and place your resin blend on the sand. For a gentler emission, you can replace the sand with water and make sure to refill before it evaporates completely, so the blend doesn't burn.
The fragrance is released after a few minutes, when the sand or water reaches a warmer temperature.
