CISTUS ABS

Ambery, warm, leathery, balsamic.

The Cistus family is ambery, woody, light and fruity.
Absolutes profiles offer hints of floral notes on top and deep warm, long-lasting dry-down notes.

Although Spain is the main sourcing country, Morocco is a very close alternative in terms of profile.

Cistus is a key compound in chypre, oriental and spicy notes.

A primary extraction with volatile solvent on fresh or dry biomass yields to a Concrete or Resinoid.
The Absolute is obtained via a second purification step in the process.

Extracted part: stems and leaves.
