Cistus essential oil, also known as Rose of Sharon, European Rock Rose or Labdanum, offers a warm, earthy, and slightly sweet aroma with subtle hints of honey. Known for its calming, grounding qualities, it's often used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and emotional balance. This essential oil is derived from the resin of the Cistus ladanifer plant, traditionally found in Mediterranean regions, and has been valued for centuries for its soothing, sweet scent.
