Labdanum Resinoid – Deep, Warm & Ambery Base Note for Perfumes
Labdanum Resinoid by Bio Shop™ is a luxurious, thick, and aromatic resin extracted from the rockrose shrub (Cistus ladanifer). Revered for centuries in perfumery, it imparts a rich amber-leather accord and is commonly used as a natural fixative in oriental, chypre, and incense-inspired fragrance blends.
Its deep, balsamic scent makes it a perfect base note for perfumes, solid perfumes, and scented candles. In skincare, Labdanum offers soothing, astringent properties and is often found in balms, salves, and anti-aging formulations.
