The labdanum scent is rich, resinous, and ambery, capturing the warm, balsamic aroma of the cistus plant’s sticky resin. Its opulent and grounding profile makes it a cornerstone in oriental and woody fragrances.
Labdanum is prized for its complex blend of leathery, musky, and slightly sweet notes, often recreated with labdane diterpenes and benzyl compounds. It is primarily used in base accords, where it lends depth and longevity to blends with amber, incense, or woody notes.
Compared to similar notes like amber or myrrh, labdanum is darker and more leathery, with a luxurious warmth that feels both earthy and sophisticated. Perfect for candles, diffusers, and body care products, the labdanum scent adds a touch of mystery and sensuality to your creations.
Listed below are all the fragrance oils in our collection which utilize labdanum in their scent make up.
