Cistus SEV Absolute, sourced from Spain, is a potent variation of the typical Cistus extract. It has a distinctive ambery, honeyed, and leathery aroma with animalic and smoky notes, complemented by a slight liquorice undertone. The addition of aromatic freshness from artemisia strengthens the extract, making it both complex and captivating. This absolute differs from other Cistus extracts with its enhanced smoky and liquorice characteristics, making it ideal for blending with woody accords like cedar or musky violets.

The Cistus ladaniferus var. beta maculata plant, abundant in Andalusia, Spain, is the sole species used in perfumery. This plant produces labdanum, a gum with an intoxicating fragrance. Cistus SEV Absolute combines the characteristics of various materials such as benzoin, labdanum, and frankincense, creating a rich, complex scent. This wild-harvested material is perfect for adding depth to woody and ambery accords in perfumes.
