Bourbon essential oil cooperative with workshop and guided tour in Le Tampon.
Réunion was oncethe world'sleading producer of geranium, and still perpetuates this distillation tradition, a heritage that the CAHEB helps to defend. Since 1963, the cooperative has been collecting essential oils from its farmer members in Reunion to supply the big names in French perfumery. Here you'll discover the different varieties of noble raw materials such as vetiver, geranium bourbon, pink berries and, more broadly, the island's many spices and perfume plants. If you have time for the guided tour, there's much more to see in the medicinal and aromatic plant garden. Olfactory and gustatory discovery or herbal tea workshops are also available for groups of 5 or more, as are perfume and massage oil creation workshops. An opportunity to perfect your knowledge of plants and perfumes. The journey through the history of scents is also very hands-on, as everyone has the opportunity to make their own personalized eau de toilette or massage oil. A palette of fragrances invites novice composers to customize their favorite scent. The experience of nature meets scent is a fascinating one, lasting around 1 hour. The tour ends in the boutique, where you'll find a multitude of essential oils, perfumes, cosmetics, spices and aromatic and medicinal plants (PAPAM) produced by the cooperative.
