Oliban is taken from the word olibanum. Another name for precious resin more commonly known as frankincense. Oliban uses a particular method of extraction, in which cedar wood essential oil is extracted alongside olibanum resin, the wood imbues the resulting incense with a delicate, soft fruity opening. Sandalwood and musks give Oliban a mystical, balmy and sensuous quality invoking a hallowed, spiritual fragrance.
