Many ingredients of the perfume industry are still wild harvest natural resources. One of them is ``Styrax'', a tree balsam obtained from Liquidambar styraciflua (Altingiaceae). Although the species is distributed from Central America to the United States, the balsam is just produced in Honduran forests. The exclusiveness of production has its origin in the natural site conditions, but as well in the conservation of ancestral indigenous knowledge. The use of Styrax is based on knowledge of Aztecs and other indigenous cultures of Central America. During century's, it has been the nation of Pech people from Honduras (today less than 5,500 habitants) who have deliver the odorous balsam to European traders --- first as forced workers under Hernan Cortes, later as free but poorly paid producers. In 2010, Styrax market was close to collapse, as middlemen have raised artificially prices without handing over the benefits to the producers. While prices on international market were high, the production got reduced due to unattractive working conditions, and the industry was lack of raw material. This was when fragrance companies decided to approximate the Honduran value chain. In a participatory analysis, the challenges of Styrax production were identified, focusing on traditional indigenous knowledge and international standards. As a result, a voluntary guideline of specifications to achieve ecological, social and economic sustainability was established. The weak legal situation of the Pech indigenous was identified as the main critical point. The ancestral harvest forests are threatened to be clear cut by cattle raisers. At the same time, the Honduran government planned to declare a national park, where Pech people would have lost their traditional harvest rights. A Free, Prior and Informed Consent was organised, what resulted in the declaration of the ``Anthropological and Forest Reserve El Carbon''.  The experience shows that the combination of ancestral and western knowledge and a multi"=level intervention driven by different interests can promote sustainability in natural resource management. }
