By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum opens with a sharp, green resinousness that quickly gives way to a fruity and floral heart dominated by plum and rose. Violet adds a powdery softness to the mid-section, complementing the rose and tempering the initial greenness. Patchouli provides an earthy foundation that supports the floral notes without overwhelming them. The base introduces sandalwood and incense, creating a dry, woody backdrop that is warmed by amber and a subtle vanillic sweetness from tonka bean. This scent evolves noticeably from a green aromatic opening to a powdery floral heart and finally a resinous woody dry-down. It projects moderately for the first two hours before settling closer to the skin, making it suitable for fall formal occasions.
