Styrax has an aroma that is difficult to explain. I usually say that it reminds me of vanilla and pepper. Anyway, this styrax definitely has a sweeter tone, and is a bit more perfumey than others I have experienced. Very nice.

This black storax smells pretty good to me. I can't wait to add it to some perfumed oils.
