Labdanum

About

Labdanum is the sticky resin of the Mediterranean rockrose, with a rich ambery-balsamic scent that is leathery, honeyed, slightly smoky and animalic, evoking sun-baked scrub and ancient incense. Used as an absolute or resinoid, it is a powerful base note and fixative, forming the backbone of amber and chypre accords and lending warmth, depth, and a leathery glow that bridges woods, spices, and florals.
