Odour
The odour and uses of Olibanum Essential Oil
Odour=> Olibanum opens with a strong but pleasant citrus. As it begins to develop, the resinous, almost buttery-warm wood quality emerges. It is sweet, lemon woody, and coniferous, but it can be considered the most refined coniferous resin (as some coniferous oils can be sharp and remind people of cleaning products—this is not at all the case with rich olibanum essential oil). Olibanum essential oil has a rich, resinous sweetness, not the kind of sweetness of candy floss or sugary. Other descriptors: woody, fresh, faint spicy, sweet, resin, balsam
Synaesthesia=>religious ceremony, applying rich and expensive oils to Jesus’s feet
Perfume-Uses=>For citrus-piney, olibanum, frankincense, old wood, fresh woody, terpeney, warm sweet, oriental leather, chypre, mens cistus, incense, citrus verbena, verveine, spicy
Just-try-it=>In the style of some Amouage fragrances; Epic Man, Memoir Man

Important Notes:
End application data applies to experiments carried out by the authors or extrapolated from those experiments using computer algorithms. As application product formulations vary widely this information is only a general guide.
Full testing by both perfumers- flavorists and end users is the only proven method to ensuring a perfume or flavours safety- strength- suitability- stability and success.
Legislation and regulations vary widely and change with time so it is your duty to check this.
