Original designation: Ciste 83 résidus
Cistus ladanifer
A cistus residue belongs to the deepest register of the extraction story: less radiant blossom, more resin crust, smoke, dry leather and earth. It is a textural material for perfumers who want the shadow of labdanum rather than its honeyed glow.

In perfumery vocabulary, Cistus 83 Residues is associated with dark resin, dry leather, smoky, earthy, ambery and woody. Its creative role is a deep base-note material with architectural presence, giving structure and character to complex accords.
In the organ, use it to build add charred depth to amber, enrich darken leather and introduce give incense a resin crust. As base note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.
Fractionation isolates a particular register of a larger material. Heads and terpene cuts tend toward lift; hearts focus the central identity; body and bottom cuts gather weight, shadow and less-volatile depth. A residue is the remaining, lower-volatility register after another separation—valuable for shadow, texture and unusual weight.
A vintage material for contemporary creation
This 21–26-year vintage opens a door to another era of perfumery. An uncommon voice from legendary perfumery heritage, made for mature, daring compositions—a scent from the past, ready to inspire something entirely new.
