Lovage

Halfway between parsley and celery, lovage is an aromatic plant that grows in our European mountains, from the Alps to the Pyrenees. It was made famous by Charlemagne who decided to have it planted in his gardens for its multiple virtues.

Its essential oil was one of the first natural ingredients to be used in perfume compositions. But today it has almost completely disappeared from the nose palette. On the other hand, it is often found in laboratories. In fact, it contains active ingredients that allow the synthetic reproduction of the famous coumarin note.
