Labdanum (Cistus ladaniferus) Organic Absolute

$18.00

Our Labdanum Absolute, also known as Rock Rose, is therapeutic quality essential oil solvent extracted from gum oleo-resin of Certified Organic Cistus ladaniferus in France. This gorgeous Labdanum Absolute exhibits a full deep and sweet amber aroma that is rarely found in other perfume materials. It's an excellent long lasting fixative that is invaluable for fragrance creation. The absolute is semi-sold, soft, sticky and somewhat pourable and amber green in color. Labdanum Absolute blends beautifully with citrus oils, musk, oak moss, bergamot, lavender, clary sage, pine, cypress, juniper, patchouli and more. It brings a rich sophisticated sweetness to citrus and lavender colognes, chypres, amber and oriental bases and pine or forest accords.

A note on absolutes: Absolutes are highly concentrated aromatic materials. Their aroma is best observed in alcohol or carrier oil. Try diluting into one of our premium carrier oils or into alcohol at 5%, 10% or 20% and see how the scent will subtley change.
