L’alcoolat Ginger Lily ou Longoze (Hedychium flavescens), révèle toute la richesse aromatique de cette fleur emblématique de Madagascar. Encore méconnu il y a peu, le Ginger Lily s’impose aujourd’hui en parfumerie moderne, où son extrait est intégré avec succès dans des créations des plus grandes Maisons de Parfum. Son profil olfactif singulier séduit immédiatement : une fragrance à la fois florale et subtilement épicée, relevée par des nuances de gingembre et des accents d’écorces d’agrumes. Cet équilibre raffiné fait de l’alcoolat de Ginger Lily une matière première précieuse et distinctive, recherchée pour apporter caractère et originalité aux compositions parfumées.

Au-delà de son usage en parfumerie, le Longoze occupe une place importante dans la médecine traditionnelle malgache. Ses fleurs sont utilisées depuis des générations pour le nettoyage des plaies, mais aussi dans des rituels spirituels visant à stimuler et « réveiller » l’énergie.

Grâce à son parfum chaud et épicé, le Ginger Lily est souvent surnommé le « gingembre sauvage malgache de la parfumerie », une appellation qui reflète parfaitement son identité olfactive unique et son héritage culturel.

Our Upcycling Sandalwood Absolute (Santalum Album) is a precious and unique extract, the result of years of experimentation to obtain something new from something old. In the beginning, nothing too trivial: Sandalwood Album grown in Australia is transformed into essential oil by hydrodistillation. At the end of the process, the dry wood is usually used as fuel. But not this time. As part of our drive to recycle waste, and because it seems obvious that the material has some deep-seated secrets, we wanted to dig a little deeper.

So we collected this dry waste and proposed this somewhat crazy project to our extraction partners. We finally succeeded thanks to a sophisticated method that uses natural citroflex as a solvent and captures the last olfactory notes of white sandalwood, offering a unique, original, and particularly aromatic absolute. Upcycling not only reduces waste, it gives materials a second life, while respecting our commitment to the environment and sustainability.

Sandalwood Absolute Upcycling differs from Sandalwood Album essential oil in its more woody, toasty notes, deliciously reminiscent of burnt caramel. A pure olfactory gem that we recommend with our eyes closed.

Ambergris infusion is concocted according to the traditional processes of perfumery. The pieces or blocks of organic matter are used to reduce them to the smallest possible size and to facilitate the infusion in alcohol. The more the amber infuses the more it improves. For its manufacture, we have chosen the most beautiful pieces of our collection in order to obtain a true elixir. When the standards are three to six months of infusion, ours will have taken 9 months to be born.

Infusion of Ambergris is titrated at 5%. It is rather black in color, emphasizing more animal notes than the white often lighter and marine. We make only one manufacture per year, each of them is therefore vintage and unique although we always use the same category of amber.
