In 1920, Marius Laborma, the company’s founder, launched his business by marketing local plant and flower extracts such as rose, bitter orange peel, and jasmine. In that day, perfume-plant production was at its peak and Grasse had been crowned the perfume capital of the world. 

The cistus and labdanum products our company supplies are created from the botanical variety Cistus ladaniferus var beta maculatus Dun, which grows wild in the Sierra Norte Regional Park. This natural protected area north of the Province of Seville, Andalusia, Spain, is home to a diverse ecosystem composed of a multitude of aromatic plants. Among these is the cistus ladanifer, exuding an amber-like fragrance that perfumes the scrub from June to October. 

In 2015, at our production site nestled in the vast fields surrounding the village of Almaden de la Plata, Spain, cistus labdanum production continues to gain momentum. The harvest began sooner this year than last year because of the hot weather this past spring. As early as June, the cistus plants were already heavily laden with gum to withstand the scorching heat of the sun’s rays.

The processing stage that turns Turkish rose concrete into absolute is in full swing at our production units. We plan to double our quantities in 2015, despite reduced harvests in Turkey. As a late frost in April damaged over 20% of buds in the flower fields of the Isparta region, the available quantities of Rosa damascena absolute are in decline this year. 

Just in time for summer, Albert Vieille is adding five new 100% pure and natural products to the catalogue, ingredients that will bring a touch of freshness and gourmandise to your compositions.

It is deep within the Almaden de la Plata Regional Park, near Seville, Spain, that Albert Vieille established a production center forty years ago. This site boasts a profusion of authentic, unspoiled nature where Cistus ladaniferus, or Cistus ladaniferus var beta maculatus Dun, flourishes, the only plant with amber notes, renowned for its olfactory depth.
