Olibanum
Fragrance notes
Character
Grapefruit and bergamot open with a bright, cold squeeze that cuts through still air. Basil adds a green, slightly peppery edge that keeps the citrus from feeling like a standard morning shower gel. The ginger in the heart arrives warm and slightly prickly, rubbing against the resinous weight of labdanum.
Labdanum brings a sticky, balsamic depth that feels like sap on bark. Patchouli sits underneath with an earthy, dark texture that grounds the brighter top notes. Leather appears as a dry, slightly rough material note rather than a polished accessory.
Amber wraps the base in a golden, resinous warmth that feels heavy against cool air. The animalic accord is faint but present, adding a lived-in quality to the woods. Everything here smells dense, natural, and firmly rooted in the earth.
Picture stepping outside after rain when the ground is dark and the trees are dripping onto a heavy wool coat.
