Olibanol™ (Robertet)
Impact
Working dilution
What does Olibanol smell like?
Soft, balsamic incense. A Boswellia carterii (Somalia) resinoid co-distilled with triethyl citrate, which removes the harsh terpenic top notes a frankincense oil opens with and leaves the deep resinous, woody, gently spicy body. Smoother and rounder than the raw oil and longer in the drydown, so it is used where incense should sit in the base rather than flash at the top; the supplier sells it into leather and tobacco accords, and it also works under citrus and florals. The carried solvent means it is weighed as a diluted speciality, not one-for-one against a straight olibanum oil.
What is Olibanol made of?
What the supplier DECLARES, not the whole formula. A base is a blend somebody else made: an IFRA conformity certificate and an allergen declaration list the restricted and declarable substances only, so these shares add up to a few percent and the remainder stays with the house. PerfuMate counts exactly what is listed here and claims nothing about the rest.
