Galbanum Tears — Ferula Galbaniflua | Wildcrafted in Afghanistan

One of the oldest and most storied aromatic resins in recorded history — referenced in the Hebrew Bible, ancient Egyptian recipes, and classical Greek writings — Galbanum is a resin of extraordinary cultural and aromatic significance. These rare tears of Ferula galbaniflua / rubricaulis, wildcrafted in Afghanistan, are prized for their intensely green, earthy, and slightly woody aromatic character: a powerful, distinctive note that anchors chypre and fougère structures in natural perfumery and adds depth and authenticity to classical incense traditions.

Why You'll Love It

• Historically significant — one of the four sacred incense ingredients of the ancient Hebrew Ketoret

How to Use
