Discover Olibanum

This is the story of a brand that was designed with a clear and simple intention. Perfumery – especially in the case of niche brands – has always told stories, but does that lyrical and poetic universe actually improve the scent?

Stripping away a perfume in order to discover its fundamental dimension and its pure and accessible creations is the very essence of Olibanum.

Why Olibanum?

“Olibanum” is the Latin term of this treasured thousand-year-old resinwich comes from the Boswellia sacra tree. From India all the way to the Horn of Africa and passing through the Sultanate of Oman,olibanum resinis harvested by cutting into the tree’s bark to awaken its woodsy, aromatic balsamic, mineral, spicey and lemony tonalites.

About the brand
