STRIPPING FRAGRANCES TO THEIR BARE ESSENTIALS
Olibanum + a star raw material
As the signature scent of our Olibanum collection, both unveiled and accentuated, Olibanum essence blends with an emblematic raw material of perfumery.
In order to express our creativity and uniqueness, we chose olibanum, a rare resin that is more precious than gold, at the very origin of the perfume. Coveted by pharaohs and kings of antiquity, this burnt offering, which adorned altars around the world in India, Africa, Europe, and Mesopotamia, was believed to convey the prayers of rituals both sacred and secular.
From India all the way to the Horn of Africa and passing through the Sultanate of Oman, the olibanum resin is harvested by cutting into the bark of the Boswellia tree to awaken its woodsy, aromatic, balsamic, mineral, spicey and lemony tonalities.
