Woody and smoky scents – where it softens the dryness of cedar, sandalwood or oud with a balsamic undertone
Spiritual or meditative perfumes – because of its age-old association with ritual and incense
2. In combination with other notes
Olibanol blends well with:Citrus (such as bergamot or lime) for freshness
Spices (such as cardamom or cloves) for warmth
Resins (such as labdanum or benzoin) for depth
Floral notes (such as iris or jasmine) for contrast and elegance
3. In niche and haute perfumery
