Cistus Incanus

What it smells like

Cistus Incanus offers a warm, amber‑resinous scent with a dry herbal edge, evoking sun‑baked Mediterranean scrubland. Its resinous exudate carries a subtle animalic sweetness reminiscent of ambergris, and is less heavy and tarry than pure labdanum. Perfumers employ it to add a lighter, more herbal base to amber, chypre and amber families, lending muted warmth without overwhelming resinous depth.
