Labdanum Absolute Overview Labdanum absolute is also known as Mediterranean rock rose absolute. It is a luxurious fragrant concrete that is used in natural perfumery, aromatherapy, and other personal care products. It is extracted from the leaves of Cistus Ladaniferus through solvent extraction. The result is a highly potent oil that captures the true essence of the plant. Labdanum absolute has a warm, rich, resin-like, sweet, and somewhat balsamic aroma. You will notice some hints of woody, leather-like, and amber that will remind you of a warm tropical mountain hike. It is a prestigious ingredient amongst perfumers because it not only adds depth but also increases the life of the scent. Labdanum concrete is particularly added to woody and amber-like perfumes. Along with its aromatic properties, labdanum absolute essential oil is also famous for its therapeutic properties. It is believed to help in grounding and centering practices.
