Turning plants into essential oils entails a complex and remarkable alchemy. It is truly an art, one that involves knowing and loving distilled plants, respecting the land, its people, and the seasons. It means taking the time to wait for a plant to reach full maturity and watching its slow transformation in the still. It is born of harmony between man and nature. It means knowing how to cut back a plant so it grows more lushly next year, how to pick fruit without cutting the tree...It also means respecting and preserving this nature while honoring the cultural traditions of the people who nurture it. The founding values of Albert Vieille promote sustainable relationships with our partners. And our savoir-faire is not theoretical; it is built through experience, with the passing of time.
