Original designation: Ciste ESS TETES S/00182
Cistus ladanifer
A heads fraction captures the volatile, high-register face of cistus: aromatic scrub, resin vapour and dry Mediterranean herbs before the darker amber body arrives. It can give an otherwise heavy balsamic structure a flash of untamed air.

In perfumery vocabulary, Cistus Essence, Heads S/00182 is associated with terpenic, aromatic, resinous, dry herbal, ambery and slightly camphoraceous. Its creative role is an agile top-note instrument with vivid lift, giving structure and character to complex accords.
In the organ, use it to build lift a labdanum accord, enrich add wild scrubland air to amber and introduce open incense with aromatic brightness. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
Fractionation isolates a particular register of a larger material. Heads and terpene cuts tend toward lift; hearts focus the central identity; body and bottom cuts gather weight, shadow and less-volatile depth. A head cut favours the brightest, quickest and most volatile opening facets.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
Preserved within the Maison Orris collection assembled by 2006, this material opens a door to an earlier era of perfumery. An uncommon voice from legendary perfumery heritage, made for mature, daring compositions—a scent from the past, ready to inspire something entirely new.
