Essential Oil Technical Descriptors Galbanum Olfactive description
Green, fresh, garlicky, powerful.
Galbanum is well known for its very intense green scent accompanied by a turpentine and resinous odor.
The initial notes are bitter, followed by complex green, spicy, woody, balsam-like notes.
Incorporated into any composition, galbanum boosts fragrance properties.
It thus enters into the composition of many perfumes because of its power to fix odor and enhance long-lastingness.
Obtained by distillation of the biomass with water, or steam.
The essential oil is physically separated from the aqueous phase by decantation.
Extracted part: gum.
Standard yield: 18-24%.
This ingredient is both convenient for perfumery and flavor applications.
