Galbanum
Description
Galbanum is a green, earthy, and slightly bitter fragrance note derived from the resin of the Ferula galbaniflua plant. It has a complex, herbaceous aroma with hints of pine, citrus, and spice. Galbanum is prized for its ability to add depth and sophistication to perfumes.
How it feels
Galbanum-based fragrances often evoke a sense of freshness, sophistication, and introspection. They can be invigorating yet calming, making them suitable for a variety of occasions, from casual daytime wear to more formal evening events. Galbanum notes pair well with woody, floral, and citrus accords.
Use in perfumery
Galbanum is commonly used as a middle or base note in perfumes, where it helps to add depth, complexity, and a sense of sophistication. It is often found in chypre, fougère, and woody fragrances, where it can balance out sweeter or more floral notes. Galbanum is an important ingredient in many classic and modern perfumes.
