Perfumer's Notes

Labdanum is one of the most important materials in the amber family. Full-bodied and powerful, it can overwhelm other ingredients in a fragrance. When used sparingly, it creates a wonderful warm, rich base. Labdanum is extracted from the rock rose plant, which is native to the Mediterranean region. It is warmer, with a more-amber like aroma than cistus, which is produced from the same plant.
