galbanum

Sharp, bitter, intensely green: the smell of crushed plant stems and unripe vegetables. Galbanum is the loudest green note in perfumery and a tiny amount goes a long way. The defining note of classic green florals like Chanel No. 19. Gives modern compositions a vivid, almost cold freshness.

Also known as: galbanum resin
