Scent of this place

There is yet another very fascinating plant here called Esteva or Cistus ladanifer in latin. It grows from 1 to 2.5 meters in height and width and it is covered in a very aromatic resin. The smell of it is calming, clean and kinda sexy. It grows everywhere here and it has an incredibly gnarly stem and root system. We often find the roots pulled out from the earth exposed and dried by the dusty dirt roads. Most farmers consider this weed to be a bit of a nuisance and try to get rid of it. This plant is apparently used by the perfume industry for an ingredient that is a stabilizer allowing the scent of perfumes to last longer. I love smelling this plant during my walks.
