Cistus Essence, Heads S/00182

Original designation: Ciste ESS TETES S/00182

Cistus ladanifer

A heads fraction captures the volatile, high-register face of cistus: aromatic scrub, resin vapour and dry Mediterranean herbs before the darker amber body arrives. It can give an otherwise heavy balsamic structure a flash of untamed air.

Extraction & expression

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 head cut favours the brightest, quickest and most volatile opening facets.
