Description

The essential oil of Rockrose is called ambra by many. It is hard to believe that a plant can smell so peculiar and unusual. There's a reason why the world's perfumers are so enamoured of it – it smells of saddle leather, smoke, balsamic wood and sweet and sour dried fruit all in one.

The cistus ladanifer (bot. cistus ladanifer, Spanish jara, English rockrose, cistus) is a plant endemic to Andalusia and Portugal with glossy, sticky leaves covered in a fragrant resin called labdanum. The essential oil of the plant is distilled from the aerial part of the plant and the labdanum absolute is extracted from the collected resin.

In addition to its perfumery fame, the plantain is also an excellent cosmetic-aromatherapeutic product, e.g. highly recommended for reddened skin with dilated capillaries. And the Spanish drink morning glory tea when they are attacked by the symptoms of a cold – just like we drink thyme.
