Labdanum Resinoid

Original designation: Labdanum RDE

Cistus ladanifer

Labdanum resinoid is amber before amber became an abstraction: honeyed resin, old leather, dry tobacco and a faint animal warmth with formidable depth. It makes fleeting notes feel remembered long after they have left the air.
