Galbanum Essential Oil

Galbanum Essential Oil is distilled from the resin of Ferula gummosa. It is valued for its sharp green and balsamic character and is commonly used to add lift, structure, and contrast in fragrance accords.

Galbanum is often combined with woody, spicy, and floral notes to create unique accords. In addition to its fragrance, galbanum and other plant extracts are also known in aromatherapy for their calming, balancing, and cleansing properties, and are sometimes used to relieve muscle pain and inflammation.
