Olibanum
The note, commonly known as Frankincense, presents a complex and multifaceted olfactory profile. It opens with a sharp, almost effervescent burst of bright, lemony-citrus and peppery spice, often with a distinct turpentine-like or piney freshness. This initial clarity quickly evolves, revealing a warm, balsamic, and deeply resinous heart. It possesses a dry, slightly dusty, and ethereal quality, reminiscent of ancient wood or sun-baked stone. As it settles, it develops a profound, smoky depth, often described as church incense, yet it retains an underlying clean, almost mineralic transparency. Its texture is smooth and waxy, with a subtle, almost powdery finish. Projection is moderate to strong, especially in its initial stages, and its longevity is exceptional, lingering for many hours as a warm, spiritual hum. It functions primarily as a heart or base note, providing structure, warmth, and a unique aromatic lift, though its top-note facets are undeniably present and impactful.
