Labdanum
Description
Labdanum is a rich, resinous fragrance note derived from the Cistus ladanifer shrub, also known as the rock rose. This amber-like substance has been prized in perfumery for centuries, offering a complex aroma that is both sweet and woody. Traditionally collected from the beards of goats grazing among the shrubs, modern extraction methods now involve steam distillation or solvent extraction.
How it feels
The scent of Labdanum evokes feelings of warmth, comfort, and sophistication. It can create a sense of grounding and stability, making it ideal for fragrances worn during cooler months or evening occasions. Perfumes featuring Labdanum are well-suited for confident individuals seeking a mature, complex scent that leaves a lasting impression.
Use in perfumery
In perfumery, Labdanum is primarily used as a base note, providing depth and longevity to fragrances. It's a key component in creating amber accords and is often paired with other woody, oriental, or floral notes. Labdanum is particularly popular in chypre and oriental fragrances, adding a warm, balsamic quality to the composition.
