Product description:
Labdanum a.k.a "Rose of Sharon" and "Gum Rock Rose" has been utilized for centuries for its aromatic qualities in perfumery while the gum is used for its abundance of therapeutic benefits.
It is said that in Christ’s time, incense was made with Myrrh, Frankincense & “Onycha”, later identified as gum Labdanum, with its sweet, musky and woody fragrance.
Often confused with Cistus Absolute oil as they are both derived from the same plant as the Absolute, however, is distilled differently and from different parts of the plant and considered to have far less therapeutic value.
Blends well with:
Essential Oils of Frankincense, Myrrh, Bergamot, Cypress, Spikenard, Clary Sage, Vetiver, Lavender, Lavandin, Juniper berry, Oakmoss, Chamomile, Opopanax, Pine, Patchouli, Calamus, Sandalwood, and Rose.
Note: Product colors and aroma profiles are intended to represent the typical and approximate color and scent of each oil. However, both can vary based on harvesting, distillation, and other factors. These variations should not affect the efficacy of the product.
