Olibanum

Profumum Roma Olibanum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Olibanum settles into a heart of Myrrh, Incense, Sandalwood, and Orange Blossom. Profumum Roma's Olibanum carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Olibanum is a polarising beast. For some, it's a 'heavenly' meditative incense masterpiece, rich and natural. For others, it’s a challenging blend of 'unwashed priest's robe', 'sweaty cedar', and 'gasoline'. Best avoided unless you're absolutely certain you want to smell like an ancient, green-tinged cathedral with a side of Marmalade. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Its intense, long-lasting nature and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, which could be overwhelming. The warm, resinous, and often 'churchy' scent is best suited for formal occasions or personal, contemplative wear rather than casual outings or sports.

About

Profumum Roma Olibanum opens with a sharp, green, almost bitter citrus note, quickly giving way to a dominant, smoky incense. Myrrh adds a balsamic depth, while sandalwood provides a smooth, woody foundation, often described as dusty or raw. The orange blossom tries to peek through, offering a curious, sometimes jarring, counterpoint to the powerful incense and resins, reminiscent of an ancient wooden chapel floor, perhaps in need of a good scrub.
