By the editors · 2 min readOlibanum opens with a resinous, slightly smoky balsamic quality that is both aromatic and spiritually uplifting from the first spray. Orange blossom and rose soon bloom in the heart, offering a sweet, floral counterpoint that softens the frankincense’s austerity with their narcotic and romantic tones. Sandalwood provides a creamy, woody foundation that grounds the floral notes with its smooth, earthy texture, while lily of the valley adds a fresh, green accent. The dry-down is a balanced blend of resinous warmth and delicate florals, evolving gradually over four to seven hours of wear. Projection is moderate, making it suitable for daytime formal or special occasions in spring or fall. It carries a polished, elegant character that feels both timeless and serene.
