“To create METAL LAVENDER, I used the metallic facets of lavandin oil, extracted from plants grown in my own organic fields.”
Since February 2023, 10 000 plants are cultivated without pesticides, on lands certified Ecocert and member of the Fleurs d’Exception du Pays de Grasse. Continuous, fully manual weeding preserves the aromatic purity of lavandin grosso.
The result is a raw material of rare quality, fresh and vibrant. To extend the lavender signature throughout METAL LAVENDER, Aurélien Guichard shaped an accord with an organic maillette lavender absolute sourced in Haute-Provence, from higher-altitude domains.
Aurélien Guichard is the only perfumer to grow his own ingredients: Centifolia Roses, Tuberoses and Lavandin exclusively for MATIERE PREMIERE.
