Labdanum de Seville is the second fragrance from the Voyage en Mediterranee collection and it brings us charm and magic of Andalusia and highlights opulence of labdanum, wild and robust plant which produces dark brown resin with intense scent. Cistus Ladanifer or Rockrose is a bush growing in the Mediterranean and blossoming with beautiful, gentle, fluffy, white flowers. Its intense aromas of resins can be described as animalistic, woody-sweet, dry musky, leather-like or similar to ambergris.

A top of this opulent composition awaits us with sparkles and freshness of citruses which make a refreshing overture to this oriental fragrance. A heart introduces accords of labdanum, while a base includes benzoin and vanilla. The fragrance arrives in a flacon characteristic for L'Occitane brand (similar to Notre Flore collection), made of glass, with a golden, cylindrical stopper. The stopper and outer carton feature a decoration, compass - rose of the winds, which has magical powers, protects mariners on their sails and suggests knowledge and experience.

 

Voyage de Mediterranee Labdanum de Seville, the second fragrance from Voyage de Mediterranee, was presented together with Mimose de L'Esterel, and is available as 75ml EDP.

Wow, this sounds great. Thanks for writing about it, Sandrina. L'Occitane is doing a great job of filling the gap between mass-market and niche by having a fairly niche sensibility at mass-market prices. Smart marketing on their part!

I'm so excited to try it!

I visited my local L'Occitane shop and they have the Mimosa tester, but the assistant dropped the Labdanum tester and it's gone, now I can't wait for them to bring a new one in :)!
This bottles are a masterpieces to me.
