Since its creation in 1980, Biolandes has worked conscientiously to respect nature and people.
Minimizing its impact on the environment and preserving local ecosystems have always been at the heart of its decisions. This commitment has been a constant feature of the company's day-to-day choices and vision, as well as of the various ranges of extracts it offers.
In keeping with this approach, the brand is sharing the latest additions to its range of natural products, for this 2022 edition of Simppar.
Popcorn extract
In partnership with a local company in southwest France, Biolandes offers this unique natural extract.
It is also part of the upcycling range, thanks to its sourcing and production process: it processes corn kernel waste, which is extracted at the Le Sen site.
Its soft, sweet notes evolve into an addictive buttery dominance that's truly reminiscent of popcorn! The finish remains soft, warm, evoking a very persistent cereal scent, a reference to the original material. It becomes a wonderful ingredient to combine with floral notes, woody notes or musks.
Oman incense essence
Olibanum, more commonly known as "frankincense", is an emblematic plant of the Middle East, where it grows wild in regions with rocky, chalky soil. It is prized for its "tears", hard clusters formed by the natural crystallization of its resinous exudate. Gathered by hand, they are used for a variety of purposes, including local cultural practices ranging from medicinal treatments to religious celebrations. Different qualities of tears can be identified, producing oils with distinct aromatic profiles.
For Simppar 2022, the brand has chosen to present an original Boswellia sacra essence obtained from high-grade Omani tears, sourced in the heart of the natural growing areas of Dhofar province.
Encens Oman Essence breaks with the olfactory codes of its Somalian namesake: it boasts very fresh terpenic top notes that persist right through to the base notes, providing a very clean, fresh effect. In the heart, the balmy, spicy-fruity effects characteristic of incense resources evolve towards a subtly zesty freshness that gives it its originality.
Ylang-ylang complete comores bio essence
Its Comorian distillery, based in Domoni (the largest in Anjouan), was created in 2007 and bought by Biolandes in 2014. It can produce 4 T of ylang-ylang and integrates a network of 250 farmers and distillers.
Its presence in the Comoros enables it, in collaboration with the authorities and its suppliers, to :
- find solutions to the problem of adulteration of ylang-ylang essential oils;
- work to improve essential oil quality;
- contribute to the professionalization of local distillers (training in financial management, calculating profitability);
- reduce environmental impact, particularly with regard to deforestation and water use (financial and technical assistance to improve distilleries, especially their wood consumption, and assistance in recycling distillation cooling water).
The company's commitment to protecting the environment and local populations has resulted in the Ecocert label being awarded to all its ylang-ylang products: improved cultivation, and the transmission of good practices to tree owners, have made it possible to develop this partnership by being the first to offer certified organic extracts of Comorian origin. As a result, we now offer this great perfumery classic in pure, natural 100%.
Used in fine fragrances, cosmetics and personal care products, complete ylang ylang oil delivers all the facets of these pretty flowers: fruity scents evoking banana in the top note, floral opulence in the heart note, and a smoky signature in the base note.
