Amytis
In a far-flung part of Media lived a princess by the name of Amytis. She loved above all things the region's verdant mountains and its plains redolent of rose and jasmine.
Promised to King Nebuchadnezzar II, she had to leave her native region to reign over majestic Babylon, the magnificient, magical, timeless city surrounded by the sand dunes of the desert...
Amytis and the king fell deeply in love with each over, and whiled away their days happily in the city. And yet, despite the attentiveness of her beloved, the young queen was haunted by sorrow.
Uneasy and worried about her wellbeing, the king sought advice from the goddess Ishtar. And it was she who inspired in him the idea of building some magnificient gardens in which Amytis might find once more the beauty of flowers, and the scents she loved so much.
And so it was that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon came into being, the dazzling result of undying love...

In Greek mythology, we relate that the Rose is born from Aphrodite’s tears, shed when Adonis was dying. To the rose, Aphrodite gifts the beauty, Dionysus grant it the nectar from which it takes it intoxicating perfume and we even say that Zéphyr, incarnation of the wind of the West, hunt the clouds et allowed in this way to Apollon to send his sunray to make it bloom and become the Queen of flowers.
Originating from China where it was known 5000 years ago, the Rose has been appreciated since ancient times. A probable cross between the Provins rose (Rosa Gallica) and the wild dog rose (Rosa canina), the Damascus rose (Rosa Damascena), discovered by the Western world during the Crusades, remains the most sought after as it yields one of the most precious essential oils. It has been cultivated in Bulgaria since the late 17th century, but Turkey and Morocco are also significant producers.
In aromatherapy, the Damascus rose has properties similar to those of rose geranium. On the psycho-emotional level, it speaks to the heart. It promotes expressions of love, dispels anxieties and heartbreaks, jealousy, anger, and more. A marvel of balance, it is like Jasmine, both yin and yang. And it calls out to us, posing this question: "How do you love?"

Its perfume is unique, intense, floral, animalic and powdery. Commonly called Spanish Jasmine, it has been cultivated specifically in the city of Grasse since the mid-17th century for its use in the perfume industry. Today, it is primarily produced in India and Egypt.
The absolute of Jasmin possesses sedative properties. It calms the central and peripheral nervous systems.
In India, a mixture of Jasmine and Sandalwood is often used to facilitate meditation.

Vanilla is one of the ingredients you will find in our products.
The vanilla bean is the fruit of a flower native to the region of Mexico, belonging to the orchid family. This flower used to be pollinated by a specific species of bees, which was essential for the formation of its fruit. When the plant was introduced to other countries, the bees did not follow, and that is why human intervention is now required for pollination.
The history of vanilla is closely linked to that of chocolate. The Aztecs and earlier the Mayans would add vanilla to a cocoa drink called xocoatl to balance the bitterness of the cacao. The Pre-Columbian civilizations attributed aphrodisiac and healing properties to vanilla.
In the Aztec language, vanilla was called "tlilxot chitl," which means "black pod." In 1518, a Spanish conquistador named Hernan Cortés brought the first vanilla plant to Europe. He named it "Vaynilla," which means "little pod."
The psycho-emotional approach :
The delicious scent of Vanilla has a soothing, nourishing effect. It helps the digestive system work more effectively. Vanilla absolute, when incorporated in a fragrance, thus symbolises the unifying effect of a scent. It will facilitate «digestion».
