About Galbanum in Perfumery
Galbanum belongs to the green family and functions as a top note — the bright first impression that greets the nose and then gently fades within the opening minutes. The first impression — fleeting and bright. Rooted in the rich traditions of Middle Eastern perfumery, it is prized for its depth and authenticity.
