Scent Profile

Herbaceous and green with a balsamic sweetness, a faintly fermented fruitiness and a damp mossy undertone that suits the common name better than the botany does.

What this is made of

Ledum names no single substance

A natural extract

Rhododendron groenlandicum oil - a real material we do not hold. The link we would make is NaturalComplex; flagged rather than typed as Reconstruction, because the oil exists and the gap is ours.

How the layers join

Origin

Steam distilled from Rhododendron groenlandicum, the Labrador tea of northern Canada, and sold as Greenland moss although it is a flowering shrub rather than a moss.

Usage in Perfumery

A green-balsamic note in natural perfumery, largely an aromatherapy material with limited fine-fragrance use.
