Perfumer's Notes

Galbanum is a natural resin that gives a natural green effect. The scent is very green and quite sharp — green peppers, cut grass — and becomes balsamic in the dry down. Galbanum is a valuable and versatile perfumery ingredient that is used in many compositions. Though its impact can be felt in the first spray, galbanum has great fixative qualities. Use up to 1%.
