Ω EO CISTUS ROCK ROSE

SPECIAL CISTUS from HORST (1 Dram) Cistus RockRose: Horst Rechelbacher, founder of Aveda, and I met in India around 1999, and shared a deep inspiring bond since literally ‘our eyes met from far across the room.’  When he left his body he left me a large bottle of organic wild Rockrose of exceeding quality.
