Ferula galbaniflua
10-20€ / 10ml

Gum-resin extracted from Ferula galbaniflua, in the mountains of Iran. Mentioned in the Ebers papyrus (1550 BC) and in the Bible as a component of ketoret, the sacred incense of the Temple of Jerusalem. Used in Egyptian embalming. In modern perfumery, a niche ingredient -- Chanel No. 19 and Vent Vert by Balmain made it famous.
Unique green and fresh scent among resins. Richness in beta-pinene and delta-3-carene gives a profile evoking cut stems, sap and damp undergrowth. The greenest essential oil in the aromatic palette. Documented anti-inflammatory properties but mainly used in perfumery and diffusion.
