Olibanum Oleoresin in TEC

This material is different from the essential oil, it exudes a lot more of the desirable incense churchy vibe. This is a great material for building incense accords, try it with the bois des landes for unparalleled alchemy !

IFF product extracted from Boswellia carteri and diluted by them in Tri-Ethyl Citrate 

Description from IFF: “Balsamic, warm and mineral, full and long lasting note, reminiscent of church.” 

Arctander says “A valuable fixative, but it also lends its own peculiar odor to the perfume (see odor description under Olibanum Oil and Absolute), Since the essential oil content is only about 8% the Resinoid of Olibanum has a much more versatile application in perfumery than has the essential oil. However, in order to obtain a true physical fixative effect from olibanum resinoid alone, it would be necessary to use 4 to 6% or even more of this material. Olibanum Resinoid is often sold in a semi-liquid form, just pourable and handy for compounding without the harmful intermittent heating of the delicate product.”
