An ambery opoponax brimming with cistus and tonka bean.
Opoponax like olibanum and myrrh, is a resin, extracted from a certain species of shrubs of the Commiphora genus, growing from the Middle-East to East Africa. Its scent is balsamic, round, sweet and is often used to build amber accords. Coupled with olibanum, its toffeed facet gives our Opoponax its characteristically gourmand and sparkling opening.

"Olibanum" is a Latin term for the precious thousand-year-old resin obtained from the frankincense tree.
An entrepreneur with an insatiable curiosity, Gérald Gilan is a versatile and passionate person. After opening several restaurants in Paris in 2000, he launched the Histoires de Parfums brand, which now has about 40 names and is available in 300 points of sale worldwide. While Histoires de Parfums tells stories and makes people dream, with Olibanum Gérald wanted to create fragrances without the storytelling aspect, returning to the simplicity of the raw materials. And it was around olibanum, his favorite raw material, that he structured this new way of thinking. The composition of each fragrance is deliberately simple: olibanum + 1 ingredient.
