Labdanum

Labdanum

Rich, mystique, and steeped in ancient lore, labdanum is a sticky resin derived from the rockrose (cystus labdanum) shrub. Dating back to ancient Egypt, labdanum was once gathered by shepherds combing the rich resin from the wool of their sheep after grazing among the fragrant plants. Its scent is unmistakably rich and ambery, with earthy undertones that hint at warm leather and balsamic woods.

As a prized note in amber and chypre fragrances, labdanum lends a deep, resinous warmth that grounds and enriches perfumes. Its centuries-old association with luxury and opulence continues today, evoking an air of timeless allure and mystique.
