Olibanum
“The resin also known as frankincense — lemony-pine brightness with a dry, mystical smoke.”
Olibanum is the resin of frankincense, harvested from Boswellia trees, smelling bright, citrusy-resinous and spiritually clear with lemony lift over warm balsamic depth. It is the frankincense of churches and temples. In perfumery it brings a luminous, meditative quality to incense compositions. In India, where frankincense (loban) is used in worship, olibanum resonates deeply. In all weather, its clarity uplifts. Sacred brightness in resin form.
