Labdanum Gum Refined

Description

Extracted from the crude resin of the Cistus Ladaniferus plant, Labdanum has been a crucial component of fragrance for thousands of years. Originally produced through combing the fur of goats and sheep that had grazed on cistus plants, labdanum’s humble origins have a long history within ancient medicine and incense. Since then, labdanum gum has expanded into a variety of useful products, one of the most common being Labdanum Gum Refined. This material has a sweet and pleasant aroma, with a rich, balsamic, and herbaceous top note. In fragrance, labdanum gum refined is often added as a fixative component, retaining a distinctively sweet and ambergris-like undertone.
