Luban, or frankincense, is the resinous tear harvested from the Boswellia tree. Its olfactive profile is complex: ethereal, lemony, and pine-like, evolving into a deep, balsamic warmth with spicy undertones. Primarily a base note, it provides structural longevity and a meditative, sacred quality to compositions. In the Gulf, Luban is culturally synonymous with hospitality and spiritual cleansing, often layered with oud or rose to create a sophisticated, traditional sillage that evokes the timeless heritage of Arabian perfumery.
