    We are very excited to be able to offer this intense and rich “super premium” labdanum (cistus) absolute, a speciality of Floral Concept in Grasse and certainly the finest we have seen. It is a near-black and extremely viscous extraction and consequently is offered here either pure or at a 50% dilution in odourless Triethyl Citrate (100% natural isolate from citrus). This is the labdanum of the golden age of perfumery. You will never need another.

    Origin: Spain (processed in Grasse, France)
    Variety: Cistus ladaniferus
    Part: Exudate of leaves and flowers
    Method: Ethanol extraction of Cistus ladaniferus L. concrete.

    Warning: This is a raw material for the manufacture of perfumes. Do not consume. Do not apply directly to skin. Keep out of reach of children.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:


    IFRA 49: 100%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    These raw materials are for use by the perfumery trade only.

    Wonderful

    Truly wonderful! Compared to HydroCarboresine it feels brighter, sweeter, and somehow a touch greener/herbal, less barbecue-ish. But still very deep and complex. It’s very close to Ambrain (IFF) to my nose. Perhaps this Labdanum is a bit more vibrant. It’s in my top ten favorite all-time natural ingredients.

    Labdanum Abs Super Prem 50% - Not what you thinking!

    This one had my curiosity, and come highly recommended. I took the plunge, and I was not disappointed. In fact, I was very pleased to get Labdanum absolute Super Premium (Floral Concept-France) but with a little different vibe from what I am accustomed to. I find this labdanum absolute wanting to get animalic on me, which I like. The first thing you notice is it’s viscous and darker color even diluted at 50% compared to what we normally use for labdanum absolute diluted 50%. Very sweet, resinous, incense, and majestic scent. My odorant receptors get a faint bit of animalic in the background, which I do like. Does anyone get that? Any material falling under gum rock rose is love for me. Cistus essential oil is what drew me in to this madness.
