Populus
balsamifera ssp trichocarpa, is a somewhat perennial tree from Canada, whose
balsam (a term used for various pleasantly scented plant products that are a
oily or gummy oleoresin usually containing benzoic acid or cinnamic acid),
flows spontaneously or by incision from this poplar tree. The Catholic Church
often mixes balsams with olive oil as anointing oil. The poplar balsam is
collected and solvent-extracted to make this alcohol soluble substance whose
scent is woody, floral and spicy.
