Our Tonka beans originate from South America are harvested from May to September. The beans’ drying step allows a thin layer of frosted coumarin crystals to appear on the surface of the bean. This stage of preparation for the beans guarantees quality and allows the bean to gain in olfactory and aromatic power. Our tonka bean extraction methods are complex and aim to transcribe as faithfully as possible the sweet, subtle and coumarin flavor so much sought after by the creators of the fragrance and flavours
In the Northern Laos Mountains, benzoin tears are collected by climbing Styrax trees, in the same way they were tapped six months previously. This resinous exudate is then sorted and classified by grade from A to D. Thanks to the work of our Laotian producer partner, we can guarantee full traceability of our batches. We treat a mixture of grades thus guaranteeing the best appreciation possible of all the harvested products. It is in our facilities that we extract with ethanol, a mild, sweet and vanilla flavoured resinoid.
