Other comments :
Cistus is a shrub about two meters high, with pink, red or white flowers depending on the variety.
Cistus harvesting on an industrial scale was first done in the region of Salamanca, and was then exported to the South of Spain, along Portugal, to Andalusia, vers the greatest cultures in Europe can be found.
Bases are obtained by deriving ciste-labdanum: Dynamone is obtained by cracking (breaking bonds of heavier molecules) and Ambrarome Absolute is obtained by pyrogenation among others.
The essential oil is more powerful, rising and terpenic but less ambered, warm and resinous than the absolute. The absolute is also cheaper than the essential oil.
