Galbanum
Galbanum presents a complex olfactory profile, dominated by an intensely green, sharp, and often bitter aroma. It is distinctly resinous, with facets that can range from earthy and rooty to slightly balsamic or even subtly smoky. The initial impression is often piercing and verdant, reminiscent of crushed leaves, snapped twigs, or the sap of a green plant. As it evolves, the sharpness mellows, revealing a deeper, more grounded resinous character. Its texture feels almost tactile – sticky, sappy, and dense, yet the scent itself can project with surprising diffusion, particularly in its initial stages. It typically functions as a top or heart note, providing a vibrant, sometimes challenging, green opening that lends structure and depth, often lingering well into the middle phase of a composition.
