How it behaves in a formula
Across this library, Olibanum appears 0 times as a top note, 0 times in the heart and 2 times in the base. Placement is the single best predictor of what you will actually smell: top-note materials are high-volatility and gone within the hour, base-note materials are fixatives that define the final and longest phase of the wear.
Compositions containing Olibanum in this library average 10.0 hours of documented longevity, and skew toward spring and summer wear. Treat that as a tendency of the amber & resin family rather than a property of the material alone — dose, supporting accord and concentration all move the result.

Yves Saint Laurent
Y Eau de Parfum
Aromatic Fougere · Men
Formulated by master perfumer Dominique Ropion in 2018, Y Eau de Parfum represents the drive of a modern generation of men who dare to follow their passions. The scent opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of crisp green apple, zesty ginger, and bright bergamot. The heart introduces a clean, herbal-aromatic bridge built around sage, crisp juniper berries, and fresh geranium. The dry-down features an intensely powerful, modern foundation of dark amberwood, sweet tonka bean, cedar, and resinous olibanum. Designed for high performance and exceptional crowd-pleasing appeal, it strikes an ideal balance between clean, shower-fresh brightness and rich, sweet, masculine sensuality.
Louis Vuitton
Imagination
Citrus Aromatic · Men
Composed by Jacques Cavallier in 2021, Imagination transforms traditional citrus-aquatic themes into a deeply modern work of art centered around high-end ambergris and tea notes. The scent opens with a sharp, sparkling, and ultra-clean burst of citron and bergamot. The spiced heart introduces vibrant Nigerian ginger and neroli. The defining feature is the dry-down, which blends airy ambroxan with smoky Chinese black tea and guaiac wood, creating a clean, magnetic, and ethereal trail that has achieved massive cult status worldwide.
