Mystikal
Mystikal is a molecule from Givaudan, which writes it Mystikal™. Introduced by the manufacturer in 2009 as the first synthetic frankincense note, it was at first reserved for its own perfumers. Givaudan describes it as a resinous, aldehydic note built on olibanum and myrrh, with a sparkling elemi facet and a background of orris and ambrette seed.
What it brings
A diffusive incense, with woody and ambery nuances.
