Product Description
Our Labdanum (Rockrose) Absolute, sourced from Spain, is solvent-extracted from the sticky resin of the Mediterranean rockrose. A highly concentrated aromatic extract, it captures the full character of the raw material. Deep, warm, balsamic and leathery, with an ambery sweetness.
A classic base note and fixative in amber, chypre and leather perfumes, and in incense-style candle blends. Absolutes are very concentrated, so use them at low levels and always check your IFRA limits for each product type.
