About this material

Labdanum R

Labdanum Absolute is a highly sought-after perfumery material derived from the precious gum-resin of Cistus ladaniferus, a sun-drenched Mediterranean shrub revered for its intensely aromatic foliage.

This exquisite absolute is cherished by master perfumers for its rich depth, sensual warmth, and exceptional fixative qualities.

Possessing a naturally sticky, viscous consistency, Labdanum Absolute is a cornerstone ingredient in fine fragrance construction—particularly within amber, incense, oriental, and chypre compositions.

Its complex olfactory profile reveals a deep, resinous sweetness with warm balsamic undertones and a remarkable nuance reminiscent of ambergris, lending compositions an unmistakable aura of sophistication and longevity.

The production of Labdanum Absolute is both intricate and resource-intensive.

It is obtained through alcohol extraction of Labdanum Concrète, itself produced by solvent extraction of the leaves and twigs of Cistus ladaniferus and related Cistus species.

Harvesting typically takes place after flowering, although earlier collection may also occur depending on yield and quality requirements.

The result is a dark brown liquid of exceptional aromatic density and perfumery value.

Due to its rarity and cost-intensive production, Labdanum Absolute is often used judiciously in combination with other modern and traditional aroma molecules such as Ambroxan, Vertenex, Copaiba Balsam, and Vertofix—each enhancing its radiant warmth and extending its olfactory reach in contemporary formulations.

Beyond its role in fine fragrance, Labdanum Absolute is celebrated as a powerful natural fixative, anchoring volatile notes and enriching the overall structure of a perfume.

Its enduring sweetness and resinous body make it indispensable in both classic and modern perfumery.

In addition, Labdanum Absolute is valued in skincare applications for its soothing and restorative properties, particularly in formulations designed for mature, dry, or wrinkle-prone skin, where its natural richness brings a sense of nourishment and comfort.

A material of timeless elegance and depth, Labdanum Absolute remains an essential expression of nature’s most opulent resins—capturing warmth, sensuality, and enduring luxury in every drop.

Documentation Supply Policy

IFRA formulation guide

Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.

Source: 51st Amendment overview, held source checked 2026-10-21. Bundle 2026-10-27. Individual Standards prevail over the overview.

No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Typical natural-material contribution references (1)

These IFRA typical composition references are not supplier or batch declarations. Botanical source, extraction and grade must be checked before applying constituent restrictions. No composition is assumed or calculated for this product.

Creative ideas to explore

Creative directions, not tested formulas.

Smoke and petals

With rose and a clear floral accord

Explore a smoky rose sketch by setting the listed smoke character beside a familiar flower. Compare it with the rose alone, deciding whether the accent suggests a distant atmosphere, a charred edge or too much darkness.

Timber and embers

With sandalwood and dry wood directions

Build a wood-focused study with the smoky material as the changing element. Compare a smooth wood setting with a drier one and keep notes on the difference between a recognisable timber impression and an abstract smoke effect.

A bright interruption

With bergamot and an aromatic opening

Try citrus brightness as a deliberate contrast to the smoky direction. Compare a matching version without the citrus, then judge whether the opening creates a useful transition into smoke or belongs to a different composition.

Batch-specific certificates, analytical results and additional technical data are not guaranteed. They are supplied only where their availability is expressly confirmed in this tab or separately confirmed by us in writing.

Where provided, supplier IFRA documentation does not replace a comprehensive safety assessment or constitute approval of a finished formulation. Customers must consider their complete formulation and intended application.

Any linked IFRA standard is provided for reference and is not a batch-specific specification or analytical certificate for the material supplied.

Do not assume that documentation confirms a particular batch, residual constituent level, manufacturing process or analytical result unless it expressly states this.

The same limitations apply to allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets, specifications, and other regulatory, analytical or compositional documents. These documents provide information only within their stated scope; they do not replace a comprehensive safety assessment or constitute approval of a finished formulation, nor do they guarantee suitability for a particular application.

Customer responsibility

These limitations apply to reliance on all documentation supplied, including IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets, specifications and other supporting documents.

Perfume Extract is solely a reseller of this product and is not an agent, official distributor, or affiliated in any way with the manufacturer.

Customers are responsible for determining whether the material and available documentation meet their requirements before purchase, and for assessing the safety and compliance of their finished products.

We do not provide formulation instructions, formulation consultancy or confirmation of suitability at a particular concentration or for a particular application.

Producer identity, detailed sourcing and processing information are not disclosed beyond the information published in the product listing.

Please read our Documentation Supply Policy alongside the product specification and available documentation.

Synonyms, alternative names, CAS/EC references, botanical names, manufacturer references and external links may describe a substance or material family generally. They should not, on their own, be taken as confirmation of the supplied material’s producer, geographical origin, manufacturing process, grade, purity, constituent levels or batch characteristics.

In particular, a synonym or reference must not be used to infer that a material is free from a particular constituent, meets a numerical specification, or is suitable for a particular application or concentration.

IFRA information, allergen declarations, Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), technical data sheets and other supporting documents apply only within their expressly stated scope. A general specification or reference document is not a batch-specific analytical result unless it expressly identifies the relevant batch.

If information appears inconsistent, or a particular characteristic is essential to your purchase, contact us for written clarification before ordering. Do not resolve discrepancies by assuming that a synonym, external reference or document for another grade applies to the material supplied.

We do not confirm characteristics beyond those expressly supported by the applicable product specification or our written confirmation. Customers remain responsible for assessing their complete formulation and intended application.
