Olibanum Oil

1 perfumes

Olibanum oil, also known as frankincense, belongs to the resinous-balsamic family and offers a complex profile defined by sharp, pine-like top notes that transition into a deep, lemony, and slightly peppery heart. Its dry-down reveals a meditative, earthy warmth with faint metallic undertones that ground a composition. This note pairs naturally with bergamot in citrus accords to provide a sophisticated, sparkling opening, or with labdanum to amplify a rich, amber-heavy base. In the Gulf, olibanum is a cornerstone of traditional perfumery, favored for its ability to cut through the intense heat of the summer months. It is frequently utilized in modern niche blends to provide a crisp, clean aromatic lift that balances the heavier, animalic presence of oud, making it an essential component for formal evening wear where longevity and a cooling, spiritual aura are desired.
