In the Nantes Valley, we have found the natural scent of lily of the valley thanks to an ancestral method

Until last Wednesday, lily of the valley was a silent flower. In perfumery, this means that the perfume cannot be extracted from it, at least not by modern methods. Thanks to the significant mobilization of Nantes market gardeners, who produce 85% of French lily of the valley, as well as volunteers, the first lily of the valley absolute in more than a century has been extracted using an ancestral method, in the greenhouses of the château. of Goulaine, in Loire-Atlantique.
