Spring 25

Le nostre violette crescono nei terreni nutrienti della Valle del Nilo, in Egitto, dove, da dicembre a maggio, le foglie vengono raccolte a mano a partire dalle prime luci dell’alba. Le foglie sono poi sottoposte a estrazione con solvente, ottenendo un liquido verde scuro noto come assoluta di foglie di violetta.

We harvest our ylang ylang, the 'flower of flowers', on the island of Nosy Be, Madagascar, where the aromatic blooms are picked at first light for intensity. The flowers are immediately taken to small, family-owned distilleries, where steam distillation begins within hours of harvesting.

Coltivato sulle colline calabresi affacciate sul Mar Ionio, il frutto viene raccolto a mano e l’olio estratto direttamente sul posto. La famiglia La Face piantò i suoi primi alberi di bergamotto negli anni Trenta e da allora ha continuato a perfezionare l’arte della produzione degli oli essenziali di agrumi.

The frilled, lacy umbels of wild carrot create that pale, high summer froth along hedgerows, in meadows and coastal dunes - and though their roots are edible, they are not as palatable as the plant's familiar cultivar. A sweet, earthy, woody oil can be extracted from the plant's seeds.

Il nostro legno di cedro rosso (noto anche come ginepro rosso) viene coltivato e raccolto in Virginia, negli Stati Uniti. L’olio viene estratto tramite distillazione a vapore direttamente dagli scarti di lavorazione di un ebanista. Condivide le classiche note legnose del cedro dell’Atlante, ma introduce una caratteristica sfumatura che ricorda il profumo delle matite temperate.

Our rock rose grows wild on the plains of Almaden de la Plata outside Seville, Spain. In late summer, the leafy stems of the plant are sickle harvested and plunged into hot carbonated water. This mixture is distilled to obtain a honeyed, amber resin - labdanum.

Il geranio di Ffern, Pelargonium graveolens, è noto anche come geranio rosa. Secondo la leggenda, questo fiore nacque quando il profeta Maometto, dopo essersi bagnato in un fiume, stese la sua camicia su un ramo di malva ad asciugare. La malva si sentì così onorata da trasformarsi nello splendido geranio rosa.

Eucalyptus is a genus of over seven hundred species in the Myrtle family, Myrtaceae. We harvest our blue gum eucalyptus on the Yunnan Plateau, China; the essential oil is created through steam distillation of the leaves.

Grapefruit oil is cold pressed from the fruit’s golden rind. Native to the Caribbean, grapefruit is thought to have been born from an accidental union of pomelo, the largest citrus fruit, and sweet orange. An eighteenth-century Welsh sailor described it as one of the ‘seven wonders of Barbados’.

Hand-picked at night to preserve intensity, our jasmine sambac is native to the Eastern Himalayas. Also known as Arabian jasmine, jasmine sambac has a long history of connection with Persia and the Middle East. The oil is extracted at source using Joseph Robert’ solvent extraction process.

The La Faces are a third-generation citrus farming family, growing our lemons on the northeastern tip of Sicily - just across the 3km straight of Messina and in sight of our bergamot on the Calabrian shores. The fruit is picked by hand, and the rinds cold pressed on site.

Our palmarosa grows wild in the Himalayas and in the Radjmahal Mountains on India’s Afghan border, where it is harvested by indigenous tribes. The grasses are then dried for a week to increase the essential oil yield before undergoing steam distillation.

Ffern’s pink peppercorn oil is extracted from plants grown on the volcanic Réunion Island, 680km east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Our 100% pure oil is extracted with the CO2 extraction process.

Peppermint is a cross between watermint and spearmint, a familiar sparkly note with a slight peppery edge. We partner with farmers in India's northerly Mint Regions to grow and steam distill our high grade peppermint oil.

We chose Haitian vetiver over Javan competitors for its fresh, sparkling notes, and because the root provides sustainable employment for south Haitian communities. One year after planting, the roots are excavated, washed, cut, and sun-dried before they can be steam distilled at source.

Gurjun balsam is a natural resin drawn from trees of the Dipterocarpus genus, native to Southeast Asia. It’s obtained through tapping the tree bark - a traditional extraction method that allows each tree to rest and replenish for months or even years before being tapped again. It carries a woody depth with smooth, slightly leathery undertones.
