resin, like amber, frankincense and myrrh, which comes from a tree. As with other such resins, it is sticky when first extracted, then becomes hard and brittle when dried, which makes it useful for binding and then sealing fragrant ingredients when making incense, allowing the fragrance to last longer both in storage and when burned. As the fragrances are protected, they remain purer and so are stronger and clearer when released.

There is an association of halmaddi with traditional, artisan incense makers who make masala incense as opposed to perfumed incense, and while on the surface this appears to makes sense, halmaddi is used as an scent holder and amplifier for fragrances both liquid and solid. The decision to use halmaddi to fix the fragrance is based on cost, availability, marketing, and the incense makers own experience and traditions.

The halmaddi resin comes from the ailanthus triphysa tree, which is mainly grown for its wood, which burns well, so is used for match sticks. Here's a set of images of the tree being tapped for the resin. Because halmaddi extraction damages the tree, and so threatens the wood crop, in the 1990s the Indian government protected the trees, and producers used other binding ingredients. The government has since relaxed its restrictions so production of halmaddi has increased. Incense aimed at the Western market may mention that it contains halmaddi on the packets because the Western market believes that halmaddi is a special fragrance ingredient.
