About essentail oil
Cistus Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and young branches of Cistus ladaniferus, an aromatic shrub native to the Mediterranean region, also known as Rock Rose.
Unlike Labdanum Absolute, which is extracted from the plant's resin, Cistus Essential Oil offers a fresher and more herbaceous aromatic profile. Its scent is sharp, green and herbal with subtle minty nuances and delicate resinous undertones, creating a clean, refreshing and naturally grounding aroma.
Steam distillation preserves the plant's volatile aromatic compounds, resulting in a light, fresh essential oil that is highly valued in aromatherapy and natural perfumery.
In aromatherapy, Cistus Essential Oil is traditionally used during relaxation, meditation and mindfulness practices. Its distinctive aroma helps create a calm, balanced and grounding atmosphere.
In natural perfumery, it is appreciated for adding fresh green depth and an elegant herbal character to fragrance compositions. As a base note, it blends beautifully with woody, resinous and citrus oils while providing natural complexity and longevity.
