Olibanum Resinoid

2 perfumes

Olibanum resinoid, derived from Boswellia sacra, offers a complex profile defined by balsamic sweetness, sharp pine-like terpenic edges, and a deep, lemony citrus undertone. Belonging to the resinous amber family, it provides a sophisticated bridge between bright top notes and heavy base accords. It pairs naturally with bergamot in citrus-forward openings or adds a meditative, smoky depth when blended with labdanum and spicy saffron. In the Gulf, this note is essential for its ability to cut through the intense heat of the region, providing a cooling, aromatic clarity. It is a staple in high-end compositions intended for evening wear, where its slow, steady evaporation creates a lingering, spiritual presence that feels both ancient and remarkably modern on the skin.
