RESPECTING HUMANKIND :- Since 2006, we collaborate with a cooperative structure located in the historical region of blackurrant culture.
PRESERVING NATURE :- The cooperative imposes strict rules regarding phytosanitary treatments allowing us to guarantee buds without any quantifiable pesticide residue.
COMPLIANCE & TRACEABILITY :-
- TRACEABILITY: Country > Region > Cultivation plot
- Fully traceable product.
- The entire transformation process is carried out in our facilities in Spain: from the buds to the concrete, then from the concrete to the absolute.
- The Fragrance
DESCRIPTORS: Green, resinous, sulfury, fruity, tart. Marked sulfurous and green notes, also fruity like the passion fruit tartness. It is also almost minty and rosy like the geraniol found in the rose. Goes very well with a rose to bring freshness to the top and fruitiness and greenness to the heart. Its sweet, sulfurous notes soften certain spices and make it easier to use them in reconstitutions of flowers such as violets or green gardenias. Blackcurrant buds absolute is often used in fruity accords as a reconstitution for blackcurrant.
Blackcurrant is a shrub with particularly fragrant foliage that grows in temperate and continental climates. The flowers bloom between April and May, then bear fruit from July to August. The blackcurrant buds are harvested mechanically during the winter months: the machine cuts the wood and then disbuds it to gather the buds. The disbudded wood is returned to the ground to produce organic matter, while the buds are sorted from the wooden debris using sifting grates. We process the buds into concrete, then into absolute, at our production plant in Spain.
SHORT STORY ABOUT BLACKCURRANT : The blackcurrant bush is native to northern Europe and Asia. Cultivation of the plant began in the 16th century and is considered emblematic of Burgundy, France, which has since become the leading region for production of blackcurrant buds used in perfumery. Today, the plant is mainly cultivated in France, especially in the regions of Burgundy and the Loire Valley, but is also grown in Poland and England.
