Scent plays an important role in lupine communications.

And in many perfumes, the aroma doesnât last either. Take Donna Karanâs Labdanum from her Essence series. This is a perfect cistus scent for 20 minutes but fades to a creamy sweetness, that hints at everyday amber, way too quickly. I like it, but wish the wonder lasted. And Poivre 23 by le Labo has a wonderful journey through labdanum a few minutes in. Here, I donât mind its loss: the many facets of this scent are the reason to wear it. Perhaps Andy Tauerâs lâair du desert marocain is the best example of a cistus note that lasts, held up and supported by other equally rugged aromas.
