Labdanum Resinoid 50% APV

About this material

Labdanum Resinoid has a rich, warm, and slightly sweet scent that opens with deep, resinous notes reminiscent of amber and leather. As it develops, it reveals a complex, balsamic quality with hints of herbal and slightly animalic undertones, adding a sense of depth and richness to the blend. In a formula, it acts as a fixative and enhances the longevity of other notes, making it particularly useful in oriental and woody compositions. It pairs well with other resins like myrrh and frankincense, as well as with warm spices and florals, creating a harmonious and rounded base. The 50% APV indicates that this is a half-strength version, making it easier to work with while still delivering the characteristic labdanum scent.
