Labdanum ABS 10%

About this material

Labdanum ABS 10% opens with a rich, resinous sweetness that has a warm, balsamic character reminiscent of amber. The initial impression is smooth and slightly animalic, evoking the scent of sun-warmed earth and dried herbs. As it develops, the sweetness deepens, revealing a complex blend of woody and leathery notes that add depth and richness to a formula. This material is excellent for enhancing the warmth and longevity of compositions, particularly in oriental and woody fragrances. It pairs well with other resins like myrrh or frankincense, as well as with warm spices and florals, providing a solid foundation for more delicate notes. Use it typically at around 1.000% to achieve its full effect without overwhelming the blend.
