Collection: Labdanum Perfumes

Labdanum is a rich, resinous material used in perfumery for its deep, warm, and complex aroma. Derived from the sticky exudate of the Cistus ladanifer shrub, also known as rockrose, labdanum has been used since ancient times in incense and fragrance. Today, it remains a key ingredient in many amber, chypre, and oriental compositions.

The scent of labdanum is often described as sweet, leathery, balsamic, and slightly animalic. It brings depth and warmth to a fragrance, often mimicking the richness of natural amber. In fact, labdanum is one of the primary ingredients used to create amber accords in perfumery, paired with ingredients like benzoin and vanilla.

Labdanum can be both grounding and sensual, making it popular in both masculine and unisex fragrances. It performs well as a base note, helping to fix lighter notes and extend the longevity of a perfume. In blends, it adds complexity and an almost smoky undertone that evolves beautifully on the skin.

Natural labdanum is obtained through solvent extraction, resulting in a thick, sticky absolute. Its ability to add richness and nuance makes it a staple in perfumers’ palettes, valued for its versatility and bold olfactory character.
