nyone know how to make galbanum last longer than a few seconds for my blend?

[Guest guest]

following on from my raspery leaf post, i used galbanum in my fruity floral

blend to give it a brambley fantasy note and to give a bit of fresh snapped

green , it gives an initial strong hit of galbanum but it is so fleeting it goes

so wuickly and i would love to try and find a way to " hold " the galbanum note

for a bit longer to convey the idea of being in the woods picking berries

surrounded by fresh sap and forest greens and dirt.

I love galbanum but it just isnt staying nore than a moment.

From my experience, galbanum in blends is not here to stay as an obvious and

recognisable note. Its purpose is to give a green presence in the perfume. It is

a modifier note although when used in big quantity, it lays around quite

strongly. I have blended it with cocoa and nutmeg, and got the earthy smell of

the forest.

Bluebell:

Galbanum is a fixative on its own, so perhaps you just need a less diluted

amount of it in your blend. It also pairs very well with Styrax, which also has

fixative properties. You could also always try adding a drop or two of

vegetable glycerin, which extends the dryout a little, but you would have to

experiment a bit to come up with the right proportions

Use galbanum absolute. It lasts much longer than the eo.
