Olibanum
One of the most ancient of fragrance materials with many spiritual and medical uses, and also known as frankincense. This aromatic, amber coloured resin is released from trees bark when they are in self-defence mode...
Taken from moss grown on trees, normally Oak trees. One of the most important of classic perfumery notes. Depending how you use it, moss runs the gamut from soft and powdery, almost textural, to evoking wet forest floors. Often used in inky green, woody fragrances but also works well with resinous materials. Smell it in….Off Piste.
