Olibanum is an evergreen shrub of the Boswellia genus in the Burseraceae family. The rubber resin collected from the trunk is steam distilled to extract the fragrance, and it is mainly produced in Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, etc. In Japanese, it is called "myrrh", which comes from the fact that when a cut is made in the bark, the sap that seeps out changes from clear to milky white, making it look like milk. The history of perfume dates back to ancient Egypt, and it is said that the ancient Egyptians especially liked myrrh among fragrances, using it in their daily lives and religious ceremonies. Its scent is resinous, with a forest-like green feel and a milky sweetness. In perfumes, it is used in classic oriental types.
