Botanical sourcing for fragrance houses, compounders and perfumery formulators.
Ingredient families for this sector
Perfumery works primarily from distilled materials, alongside the dried plant and root material they are produced from and that compounders extract in house.
Essential Oils
Moroccan essential oils supplied in bulk to fragrance, cosmetic, food and aromatherapy manufacturers. Every oil is quoted against a specification agreed at enquiry rather than offered from a fixed list, because the profile a buyer needs follows from the formulation it is going into.
Dried Herbs
Moroccan dried herbs supplied in bulk to herbal, food, beverage and cosmetic manufacturers. Cut, cleanliness and presentation do more to determine whether a consignment is usable than the name on the invoice, so those are agreed against your process before a quotation is issued.
Herbal Roots
Moroccan herbal roots supplied in bulk to fragrance, herbal and cosmetic manufacturers. Root material is bought against preparation as much as against weight, and what can be supplied is confirmed against your specification at enquiry.
Procurement considerations
- Olfactive consistency. Odour profile shifts with harvest, altitude and season. Where a house works to a reference, that reference should be agreed at specification stage.
- Species and chemotype. Two materials sharing a common name can differ chemically. The botanical name is the identifier that matters.
- Process. Steam distillation, extraction and expression give materially different products from the same plant.
- Analytical data. Whether analytical documentation exists for a given ingredient is confirmed during the enquiry rather than assumed.
- Continuity. Repeat supply against a fixed profile is a separate conversation from a single consignment, and is best raised at enquiry.
