Galbanum Resinoid

Original designation: Galbanum RDE

Ferula spp.

Galbanum resinoid turns the shock of crushed green sap into a deep, resinous continuum of earth, pine and bitter wood. It is one of perfumery’s great structural greens, capable of making florals feel freshly cut and woods feel alive.
