Deep, dry balsamic-resinous aroma with a warm ambery sweetness and pronounced leathery, slightly animalic facets. Reminiscent of labdanum but greener and more herbaceous at the top, drying down to a smoky, incense-like woody warmth with hints of pine and honeyed tobacco.AI · claude-opus-4-7

True Cistus Oil is a pale orange colored liquid.
The oil has a very peculiar, warm-herbaceous odor that bears some similarity to that of Roman chamomile, decaying fruits, and certain methacrylates.
It produces interesting effects in lavender bouquets, colognes, and spicy after shave fragrances.
Produced in Spain by steam distillation of the entire herb (leaves and stems with flowering tops) of Cistus Ladaniferus.
