Labdanum -- sounds like a derogatory name for a bad Labrador. And that may well be, but it's also a resin used, among other things, as a base note and fixative in perfumery. An odd fragrance. Sort of an earthy, wet licorice that's somewhat reminiscent of patchouli. The fragrance is often described as "leathery". Like so many base notes, it's not necessarily fabulous by itself but can add a depth and dimension that will make a particular fragrance mix fabulous. Labdanum: more than a leathery wet dog.
