Natural ingredient expert for the perfume industry

❗ NEW SOURCING ARTICLE ALERT 🌱 🌎 📍 CENTRAL PARAGUAY  🇵🇾 “At the end of 1870’s, in 1876, a French botanist named Benjamin Balansa brought petitgrain together with a still to Paraguay to begin steam distillation of this natural ingredient. Little did he know if we told him that by bringing petitgrain from Vietnam to Paraguay, over a century later the country would become the number one producer of petitgrain essential oil for the perfume industry, with over 180 tons of raw material produced each year! Its use in perfumery has been as extensive as: in fine fragrance, in many colognes for its more advantageous price than its siblings neroli and orange flower absolute, in toiletries, and obviously…in niche perfumes!” 🎉 This month marks the one year birthday of The Raw Materialist’s sourcing report on petitgrain (Citrus aurantium) in Paraguay, with Latin American producer NELIXIA for OLFACTIVE STUDIO Parfums! Back at the end of January 2023, The Raw Materialist met Nelixia’s Paraguayan team: Victoria Soerensen von Schirmeister, Ada Lujan Cantero Zarate, & Angel Brusquetti, agricultural engineers, and Rita Lugo, local coordinator.   Together we traveled to the department of San Pedro (central Paraguay) where I had the opportunity to conduct on-field research on petitgrain "naranjo agrio", and collect precious insight on its supply chain. This report led me to write – at the beginning of this new year – a preliminary article (excerpt above), introducing this thoroughly used natural raw material: “PETITGRAIN, IN THE SHADE OF PARAGUAY'S ORANGE TREE” OLFACTIVE STUDIO Parfums X NELIXIA X The Raw Materialist 🔗 Full article: https://lnkd.in/e9RV_eun Much gratitude to Nelixia’s CEO Elisa Aragon, Andrea Horvath, the whole Nelixia team, and Céline Verleure. 💭 Feel free to share and comment! 🇨🇵  Pour les francophones : 🔗 https://lnkd.in/efMCAfkY 🔜 🔜  Upcoming: a full sourcing report on petitgrain for the "Raw material diary" published by The Raw Materialist x Nelixia
