Labdanum

90 perfumes

Derived from the sticky resin of the Cistus ladanifer shrub, Labdanum is the soul of amber accords. Its olfactive profile is complex: leathery, balsamic, and deeply honeyed with a faint, smoky animalic edge. Primarily a base note, it provides exceptional fixative power and warmth to a composition. In the Gulf, it is cherished for its ability to anchor heavy ouds and spicy saffron, creating a rich, opulent sillage that resonates with the region's traditional love for deep, resinous, and enduring fragrances.
