Olibanum Resinoid, when prepared by benzene extraction, is a dark amber to dark orange or reddish-brown colored, almost solid, but somewhat plastic mass of non-pourable soft-extract consistency.
The odor of this resinoid is excellent.
Olibanum Resinoid is a valuable fixative, but it also lends its own peculiar odor to the perfume. Since the essential oil content is only about 8%, the Resinoid of Olibanum has a much more versatile application in perfumery than has the essential oil.
True Olibanum Resinoid is obtained by extraction of the crude olibanum with a hydrocarbon solvent, usually benzene, rarely petroleum ether, acetone, methylene dichloride, etc.
