About Incense Perfumes
Incense, also known as Olibanum, comes from the resin of trees of the Boswellia genus, grown mainly in arid regions such as the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and parts of India. Used since ancient times, it is associated with spiritual and religious practices throughout the world, thanks to its enveloping aromatic scents.
Incense has a unique olfactory signature, both mystical and complex. It gives off resinous, woody and slightly spicy notes, sometimes accompanied by a balsamic sweetness. When burnt, it releases a smoky aroma, creating an atmosphere that is both meditative and soothing. Depending on its origin and harvesting techniques, the nuances can vary: incense from Oman, for example, is known for its brighter, lemony notes, while incense from Somalia offers deeper, amber facets.
Incense is mainly used as a base note, bringing richness and depth to compositions. It blends perfectly with materials such as patchouli, amber, sandalwood and leathery accords. Its perfume can evoke warm, intimate atmospheres, creating a unique olfactory depth. Whether used to intensify a warm trail or to add a touch of timeless elegance, incense remains an essential and admired ingredient in perfumery.
