Galbanum

Herbs & Green Notes
Galbanum is a distinctive green, sharp, and herbaceous note with a powerful, intense, and somewhat bitter green aroma. It has a crisp, fresh quality reminiscent of cut grass, green leaves, and pine needles, with a slightly resinous and woody undertone. Its scent is penetrating and can add a vibrant, natural, and almost medicinal green character to fragrances.
Galbanum is a natural resin extracted from various species of Ferula, a genus of perennial herbs primarily found in Iran and surrounding regions of the Middle East. The resin is obtained by making incisions in the stems and roots of the plant, allowing the gum-like substance to exude and then harden. Traditional extraction methods include steam distillation and solvent extraction to produce the essential oil used in perfumery.
