Useful for making Amber, Chypre and Incense accords, a staple raw material in perfumery which can be used in countless contexts.

(2021): We tried 6 different Labdanum absolutes from different manufacturers and this (Ultra International) one was the best. It has a unique honey top note unlike any of the others we trailed, which gives it a special glowing warmth and sweetness. It dries down into a leathery scent profile.

Update (2024): Upon finishing our initial batch of Labdanum, when we went to restock, Ultra's latest batch did not live up to the original (naturals in perfumery can vary greatly by batch). Thus we sampled more batches of Labdanum from different suppliers until we finally landed on a batch from Biolandes which was a close match to the exceptional aroma profile of our old batch.

Future batches will me matched as best possible also.

OUT OF THIS WORLD LABDANUM

This is now my most favorite ingredient. I’ve blended it with CEDARWOOD ATLAS, VETIVER and AMBROXAN. One in perfumers alcohol and another in augeo to use in my diffuser. Both myself and the house smells wealthy and sophisticated. This also helps with my adhd and moods.
Smells are subjective, profoundly so. But I think it’s sweet, Smokey, woody. And I can detect an hint of honey.
And there’s something else I can’t put my finger on. Just a richness. I also now know what gives most of Penhaligons scents their signature. I’m sure it’s this.

Very nice and clean.

Have bought few from other web site like Pell wall found it to be too strong, spoilt my experiments.

I diluted this one to 10%, and it's sweet and clean, not over powering. Made a copy of MFK B540 for myself, didn't have Fir Balsam used Labdanum did the job.

Didn't realise how expensive this was, got more than 10g, this probably last me a year. Hopefully stock up for a larger one.

Dilution was a problem tbh, used a spatula made dilution in a beaker, I wouldn't advice to dilute in a bottle it can get tricky and if you have a scale that switches itself off it can be really annoying trying to make 10% dilution on 1g of Labdanum.

Thanks Sam.

Labdanum Absolute 10ml

A clean, bright and elegant Labdanum Absolute. Deep resinous, powerful and long lasting. Sweet golden amber, herbal, tobacco, beeswax/honey tones with a gorgeous dry woody-incense aspect that makes this a versatile and interesting amber material. Adds sparkle and mystery to my perfume formulas. Good value for money. Good communication and arrived promptly.
