By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum opens with a sharp, green, almost bitter edge that quickly establishes a crisp, vegetal character. Bulgarian rose emerges, offering a rich, floral heart that softens the green intensity with its deep, slightly spicy sweetness. Oakmoss and patchouli in the base contribute an earthy, mossy depth, while sandalwood adds a creamy, woody warmth that balances the composition. The fragrance evolves from a green floral to a woody, chypre-like dry-down with a classic, structured elegance. Projection is intimate but persistent, lasting over eight hours, ideal for formal occasions in cool weather.
