Our founder

In the beginning, in 2018...

Nathalie Langrand, a sophrologist and therapist, is trained in sophrology, sophroanalysis, psychogenealogy and aromatherapy.

When working with clients in her consulting room, she often combined essential oils with therapy. Essential oils, chosen beforehand by her clients, were used particularly for their relaxing properties and they enhanced the effectiveness of the therapeutic work.

Encouraged by the results of her experimentation, she was keen to take things further, by creating specific beauty products that would affect the psycho-emotional sphere.

So in 2018, I created a small cosmetics brand focused on emotional well-being.

But life had some serious setbacks in store for me, and this on a recurring basis. She had stubbornly decided that I had to create everything myself, and finally I agreed to take up the challenge...

Totally novice, I started to learn graphic design, to create the design of my brand, my products and to recreate a website myself.

In parallel with the development of Bastide d'Isalinore, she is pursuing various training programs, particularly with university psychologists.

She is currently focusing on the TRESC® patent.

Since 2024, she has been undergoing training at the Perfumery Art School to become a perfumer.

Starting in 2024, she will undergo training as a perfumer to create her own patented TRESC fragrances.

Today, in 2024...

A care fragrance house was born.

Both a therapist and a bit of a researcher, I decided to reinvest in what is called "therapeutic perfume".
I now focus on the composition of the perfume, on the choice of ingredients and on their association generating a better well-being.
What matters to me is the very high quality of my perfumes and their real effectiveness.

2024 is the year I joined Isabelle Gellé's Parfumery Art School to become a perfumer and learn to create beautiful 100% natural artistic perfumes.

Also entering a research protocol focused on the perfume of care (patent TRESC®), the composition of my future perfumes will remain secret but will be certified.

An activist beauty brand

La Bastide d’Isalinore is above all a family business.
It all started with the desire to create natural beauty products based on essential oils, with simple, clean formulas, and high-quality natural or organic ingredients.

We started buying fair-trade ingredients because we wanted to be a part of initiatives that are helping to promote fairer trade between North and South and to bring decent pay and genuine empowerment to families all around the world.

As an activist beauty brand, la Bastide d’Isalinore is a patron of French Association Coeur de Forêt (Heart of the Forest).

Cosmetic products and their well-being benefits

Our fragrances and cosmetic products can be used for relaxation and well-being purposes. A "benefits" tab has been added to each product in order to better help the consumer with their choice. Each collection has been created in order to help with an imbalance or a psychological issue.

It has been made with an olfactory approach and it can be a support or an aide to a wellness treatment or therapeutic work.
