Persian Galbanum

Persian galbanum is a resinous, green-woody fragrance note derived from the galbanum plant, a perennial herb native to Iran and the Caucasus region. It has a distinctive, slightly bitter and pungent aroma with hints of citrus and pine.

Fragrances featuring Persian galbanum tend to evoke a sense of freshness, sophistication, and natural elegance. They can be worn year-round, but are particularly well-suited for cooler weather and formal occasions when a refined, slightly austere scent is desired.

Galbanum is commonly used as a top or middle note in perfumes, adding a fresh, green, and slightly resinous character. It is often paired with other woody, floral, or citrus notes to create complex, sophisticated fragrances. Galbanum is a key ingredient in many classic chypre and fougère perfume families.
