About DeGrhaal Olibanum
DeGrhaal Olibanum is a unisex fragrance from the French brand DeGrhaal, released in 2024.
This eau de parfum has a balsamic character and was created for those who appreciate deep, resinous compositions with spicy radiance and a pronounced sillage.
The name Olibanum refers to frankincense, one of the fragrance’s key facets.
However, the composition does not come across as strictly ecclesiastical or monotonous: a fresh opening, a spicy heart, and a rich woody-amber base create a complex, modern, and highly textured impression.
Character and development on the skin
From the first minutes, DeGrhaal Olibanum comes across as a bright, cool-spicy, and slightly citrusy fragrance.
As it develops, it becomes warmer and more voluminous, ultimately leaving behind a dense resinous cloud with soft woody and musky nuances.
The fragrance is described as having very strong sillage, so Olibanum can make a noticeable presence in its surroundings and linger in the memory for a long time.
This is neither an intimate nor a shy perfume: it calls for confident application and an environment where its intense character feels appropriate.
The perfumer and the brand’s style
The composition was created by Nabil Dridi.
In his interpretation, frankincense becomes not only a resinous note but also the center of a multilayered fragrance, around which spices, floral nuances, woods, and warm animalic accents are arranged.
DeGrhaal develops a distinctly French perfumery style, offering unisex fragrances in eau de parfum concentration.
Olibanum reflects this idea particularly well: it is not tied to a strict gender script and develops individually, emphasizing the temperament of its wearer.
Seasonality and wearability
DeGrhaal Olibanum is likely to be most expressive in cool weather — in autumn, winter, and early spring.
Its dense resinous-spicy character feels especially harmonious in the evening, at formal events, in the theater, at a restaurant, or during a leisurely walk through the city.
The exact amount recommended for application to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information.
Given its very strong sillage, the fragrance should be tested gradually, allowing it to develop and assessing its intensity specifically on your own skin; on fabric, the composition may last longer.
Information about other concentrations of DeGrhaal Olibanum is also unavailable, making it impossible to compare this release with Eau de Toilette or Extrait versions.
Nevertheless, the eau de parfum already offers noticeable richness and a cohesive character.

It may appeal to fans of a pronounced sillage and rich accords, although each fragrance reveals its character in its own way.
