By the editors · 2 min readOlibanum opens with a dry, lemon-peel frankincense that crackles like heated pine sap. The heart fuses guaiac’s smoky pencil-shavings facet to cedar’s clean hamster-cage shavings, creating a stripped church-pew wood accord that hums quietly against skin. Over two hours the resin sinks, musk emerges as a freshly-laundered cotton sheet: soft, ion-clean, carrying only ghosted whiffs of the earlier smoke. Projection stays polite, a forearm-length woodsy veil that feels safest in cool spring office air yet won’t offend summer heat; longevity clocks six quiet hours before it becomes a skin-whisper you alone can hunt.
