Labdanum

The name of the scent is a homage to its tarry black heart-chord of labdanum, obtained from a species of Mediterranean rockrose. Rich, resinous, round and warm, this is a fragrance that affects the wearer at the deepest level. The aroma is erotic yet deeply grounding and has been used in meditative and spiritual practices for millennia. The Egyptians believed labdanum’s divine scent could even please the gods and evoke favour and protection.

The sand’s color has changed to a blinding white. On these sugar dunes, we become minuscule. ‘Sugar Leather’ is like a piece of leather covered in white sand and caramelized by the sun. A decadent, racy, spicy fragrance.
