Cistus Labdanum

Cistus Labdanum is labdanum in its most raw, unpolished form - straight from the sun-baked Mediterranean hillside. It carries a warm, deeply ambery resinous character with distinctive leathery and slightly animalic facets that regular labdanum only hints at. There is a dry, herbal quality from the cistus plant itself, a honeyed sweetness, and a subtle smoky bitterness that gives it incredible depth. It smells like the Mediterranean summer compressed into a single note.
