Our Sandalwood
A botanist named Vieill has given the name austrocaledonicum o this very special species of Sandalwood. We can mainly find New Caledonian Sandalwood in the Loyalty Islands and on the Isle of Pines.
Santalum austrocaledonicum is close to the Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) by its smell and composition.
It is completely different from Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum).
The principal clients are the most famous French cosmetic and perfumes companies.

Our Distilleries
Sandalwood is a well-respected oil, holy and indispensable in religious and spiritual practices, and used for centuries.
Also called liquid gold due to her precious nature, Sandalwood oil is used in Ayurveda, and aromatherapy and is also a key ingredient in many lotions and soaps thanks to its antimicrobial properties
The sandalwood tree is felled in the forest and the sapwood is removed before delivery to the distillery, as only the heart is rich in essential oil.
The wood is stocked for drying and then milled to become wood chips. The double boiler, with a wood fire, heats the chips, and the steam allows the wood to exude its essential oil. The next step is the cooler, which gives a water and oil mixture. The last step is to use an ‘essencier’ or Florentine vase to separate the oil and the water by density. Once filtered, the oil is very pure.

Reforestation
The seedlings are raised in nurseries, then transplanted in the forest. It is important to note that all stages up to harvesting are done in an artisanal manner – there are no industrial processes.
The local tribe members are in charge of planting, harvesting and the sale of sandalwood to the distilleries. Only 40-50 year trees are felled each year, and natural regeneration is greater than the harvest. Also, the regeneration process requires three planted trees for one felled.
Trees are selected and identified by a hammering of the trunk and the cutting down controlled by the forest department. The authorised quantity does not exceed the natural capacity of regeneration. The tree nursery takes care of young trees, are then transplants them into a natural environment.
Our knowledge
We fell into the cauldron of essential oils more than 20 years ago. After having taken over a small distillation unit that we totally renovated and where we improved working conditions, we were able to install two more units. The government also requested the preservation of natural resources by setting a fixed quota regarding the felling of trees and reforestation.
From odours to scents, from flowers to trees, from contacts to experiences and readings, we became interested in all essential oils. This allowed us to find the best supply sources of essential oils, cutting out many intermediaries.
Education is at the heart of what we do. We are dedicated to empowering our customers with knowledge and guidance on the safe and effective use of essential oils. Check our blog to help you make the most of your essential oil journey.

Why do we do this?
Health and well-being are playing an increasingly significant role in society and in our lives. With growing awareness about the importance of taking care of our physical and mental well-being, people are becoming more conscious of their lifestyle choices and seeking ways to enhance their overall health with non-medication alternatives when suitable, which can help reduce the overreliance on medications and promote overall well-being. Moreover, medication misuse or overuse can have potential risks and side effects.
Rather than merely acknowledging the challenges the world faces, we embrace the opportunity to enhance our lives by embracing a more natural approach.
