Essential oils continue to grow in popularity with consumers, who are exploring different oil ranges and understanding their individual properties and benefits. For formulators, essential oils are a fantastic way to differentiate products, and build a line that’s truly unique to your brand.

Among one of the most important and most commonly used ingredients in perfumery, Geranium Oil is often referred to as 'Rose Geranium Oil'. Originated from South Africa,  it is also grown in Reunion, Madagascar, Morocco and Egypt and likes a warm, dry climate. Seeding usually occurs late in the year around November and December with the first cut and distillation occurring in June, where the oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and stems of the flower. Then the plant continues to grow until the second cut around October.

Multifaceted essential oil within the entire flavor and fragrance industry, Geranium Oil has served as a versatile ingredient for countless perfumery applications. The Egyptian oil especially is recognized as one of the "rosiest" variants of the geranium flower, with a pleasantly sweet and floral aroma, as well as minty and herbaceous notes. The oil's odor retains this complexity throughout its dry down, blending well with innumerable other fruity, floral, and herbal ingredients.  It can also be used for its relaxing properties.

Known as the queen of flowers, roses grow and are collected from across the Bulgarian Rose Valley. They offer precious and rare essential oil obtained from the petals of the flowers. Around 3,000 kg of petals are necessary to capture 1 kg of Rose Oil. Like many flowers, roses are fragile, so manual harvesting starts very early in the morning, at dawn, when petals have their highest oil level. Distillation takes place long into the night to ensure petals are distilled on the same collection day.

Pure ‘royalty’ of essential oils, our Rose Oil exhibits a characteristic and powerful smell. Its subtle and intoxicating perfume provides floral, rosy, herbaceous, fresh and sweet olfactory notes.

Native to Paraguay, Spain and Morocco, the Citrus aurantium amara is more commonly known as the bitter orange plant. This hardy, evergreen tree can grow up to 6 meters tall in the wild and only to half this height in cultivation. Petitgrain essential oil is produced from the twigs, branches and leaves of the tree. Harvesting and steam distillation mainly occurs between the months of October and March, even if the essential oil can be produced throughout the year.

Petitgrain comes from the same botanical species as neroli and bitter orange, whereas Neroli Oil is distilled from the blossoms and Orange Oil is typically cold pressed from the rinds of the fruits. Because of this, Petitgrain Oil demonstrates a less floral and citrus fragrance compared to Neroli or Orange Oil. Its aroma is sweet, fresh, and green, with a subtle floral and woody characteristic. It is used in personal care products and especially in perfumery for its powerful and intoxicating aroma.

Neroli is one of the most common essential oils in the world of fragrances. It is steam distilled from the fragrant flowering blossoms of the Citrus aurantium var amara, the bitter orange tree native to the foothills of the Himalayas. Spread by Arab travellers through the Middle East and around the Mediterranean Sea, the tree is nowadays mostly grown in North Africa, i.e. Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt, known as the world’s largest producers of Neroli. The Tunisian Neroli, soft and delicate, prettier and more floral than the Egyptian one, is the most appreciated oil by the perfumers. After plantation, the first flowers cannot be picked for a minimum of five years. It takes another five years for the tree to be in full production. The bitter-orange trees typically blossom from late March to April. One ton of flowers is necessary to produce one kilogram of essential oil.

The name Neroli was given in honor of Anne Marie Orsini, Princess of Nerola, who used the oil to scent her gloves. Indeed, it emits a rich, floral scent with citrusy overtones and is used as a base note in perfumes and scented products. Because of its sweet aromatic smell recalling the one of jasmine, neroli is widely used in fragrances for both fine fragrances (perfumes, cologne, eau de toilette, etc) , functional perfumery (body care, home care, fabric care, etc.) and aromatherapy, where its soothing effect on mood is valued. It is also an important ingredient for the flavour industry. Rumour has it that it is one of the secret ingredients of the Coca-Cola recipe!

Lavandin is not a natural plant in the true sense, but a spontaneous hybrid obtained by crossing two species of Lavandula. It grew wild in the south of France; bees carried the pollen from higher altitudes, where Lavandula angustifolia was blossoming, to the lower altitudes, where Lavandula latifolia could be found. That explains its botanical name: Lavandula hybrida. Its flowers are particularly well-known thanks to their blue and purple colors.

The essential oil is obtained from the flowering tops of the plant and is distilled immediately after the harvest. Its aroma and properties are quite similar to Lavender's, but it has asserted its own olfactory identity. More intense and sharp, with underlying touches of Lavender’s sweet-floral scent while demonstrating camphoraceous top notes and woody herbaceous undertones. The strong camphor is appreciated in fine perfumery and room fragrances and is often used in men’s scents. Finally, the fresh-smelling Lavandin Oil is renowned for its calming, relaxing and soothing properties and is further valued in personal care, food and household products.
