Our Galbanum gum is harvested from Ferula gummosa from high in mountainous regions in Central Asia. Galbanum gum comes to market as either a thick viscous liquid or a softish solid. Galbanum has been used as an important ingredient in the formulations of many ancient incense compounds like Egyptian Kyphi and the famous Ketoret from the Hebrew bible. Galbanum has an alert, herbaceous, green Chypric fragrance and has almost indescribable aroma when burned or heated.
It is quite enigmatic but is strongly reminiscent or things herbal or green. Galbanum is used in a number of high end perfumes by Cartier, Chanel, Guerlain and Balmain.
We are quite happy to offer this high quality soft solid form of the gum. It could be dissolved in high proof alcohol to extract it's fragrance to add to incense dough if you are formulating or frozen over night and ground by hand.

I haven't had a chance to burn any yet, but the smell is oh-so-citrus and sharp in the tin, I can tell it's going to pair well with the Aleppo pine resin. Amazing quality!
