White Galbanum

White galbanum is a fragrant resin derived from certain species of Ferula plants native to the Middle East and Central Asia. It has a distinctive green, earthy, and slightly bitter aroma with hints of citrus and pine. The resin is prized for its use in high-end perfumes, where it adds depth and complexity.

Fragrances featuring white galbanum tend to have a sophisticated, elegant, and slightly austere character. They can evoke a sense of contemplation and introspection. Galbanum-based scents are well-suited for formal occasions, cooler weather, and more mature wearers who appreciate complex, green-woody aromas.

White galbanum is commonly used as a heart or base note in perfumes, where it adds an earthy, green, and slightly bitter facet. It is often paired with other green notes like vetiver, oakmoss, and pine, as well as citrus and floral notes. Galbanum is a key ingredient in many classic chypre and fougère fragrances.
