SOME OF OUR SUSTAINABLE STORIES...
Sandalwood Oil
(Santalum album)
Sourced sustainably from: Sri Lanka
Olfactive profile: Smooth, warm woody note with milky undertones.
Obtained via: Steam distillation
Found inside: Sunday Papers, Late Night Fig, Old Fashioned & Balearic Isle
Story: Local farmers are employed to plant & harvest the sandalwood. Water used in the condenser is recycled & fed back into the process. Any wood left over is donated to local communities to make incense sticks to support the income of families. In addition, a social project enables access to safe water & our supplier runs a training programme for young people about environmental protection.
Geranium Oil
(Pelargonium graveolens)
Sourced sustainably from: Egypt
Olfactive profile: Green & leafy with a fresh floral character
Obtained via: Steam distillation
Found inside: Old Fashioned, Powdery Skies
Story: Cultivation takes place in a desert region where water use is strictly managed. Drip irrigation is used to feed recycled water & nutrients directly to roots, minimising evaporation & water loss. Organic waste is converted to animal feed or charcoal to use as a fuel. Education, nutrition & social activities for over 250 children each year are supported, along with a project to empower women by providing skills to enter employment.

Olfactive profile: Heady white floral with fruity & animalic tones

Story: Flowers are carefully hand-picked before dawn & processed immediately to fully preserve their scent. Instead of harsh chemicals, farmers grow clover to naturally fertilise the land & to reduce waste the material used is recycled at the end of the growing season. Educational support is provided to local children & a partnership with an NGO provides classes to teach good farming practices. Farmer-owned beehives encourage pollination & greater biodiversity.
