Labdanum presents a complex, multifaceted aroma that is deeply resinous, warm, and balsamic. It carries notes of rich amber, sweet leather, dry woods, and a subtle, earthy smokiness. Depending on the extraction method (absolute vs. resinoid), it can range from intensely animalic and tar-like with hints of castoreum in the absolute, to sweeter, more powdery, and vanilla-like in the resinoid. Its texture is thick, viscous, and sticky, translating to a scent profile that feels dense and enveloping. It is typically a base note, evolving slowly on the skin, revealing layers of warmth and depth over many hours. Its intensity is moderate to strong, providing excellent projection and exceptional longevity, acting as a powerful anchor in a composition.
