Cistus
The note presents a rich, deep, resinous aroma, often described as warm, balsamic, and leathery. It possesses a sticky, tenacious quality, evolving on the skin with facets of dried fruit, amber, and sometimes a subtle, animalic undertone reminiscent of warm skin or fur. Its intensity is significant, providing a grounding presence. It typically functions as a base note, offering exceptional longevity and projection, anchoring lighter elements and adding profound depth to a composition. It can also reveal smoky or slightly dusty nuances as it dries down.
