Olibanum, commonly known as frankincense, is a resin obtained from the Boswellia tree, native to the arid regions of the Middle East and Africa. Revered for its historical and spiritual significance, olibanum has been used for centuries in incense, rituals, and perfumery. In fragrances, it is often featured as a base or heart note, imparting a rich, resinous depth to oriental, woody, and aromatic compositions.

Olibanum has a warm, resinous aroma with fresh and slightly citrusy top facets. Its scent is rich and complex, combining balsamic, woody, and smoky nuances that create a calming and meditative quality. Subtle spicy and earthy undertones add depth, while its long-lasting character makes it an essential and versatile ingredient in perfumery.
