Galbanum Resin

The note bursts forth with an initial piercing, sharply verdant aroma, like the sudden snap of a fresh green stem or the crushing of intensely green leaves underfoot. It possesses a distinct, almost acrid bitterness, a primal earthiness that is uncompromisingly green and resinous. There's a mineralic, even slightly metallic edge to its opening, a clean yet potent bitterness that can feel almost austere. As it evolves, this initial sharpness mellows, revealing a deeper, somewhat woody-balsamic undertone, still distinctly green but with a more grounded, earthy warmth. Its texture is often described as sappy or gummy, imparting a sticky, almost tactile sensation to the olfactive experience. The intensity is considerable; it's a note that demands attention, projecting with a vibrant, almost electric energy, particularly in the top and heart. Its longevity is remarkable for a green note, often lingering into the mid-drydown as a subtle, grounding presence.
