Description
Yellow immortelle is a small, highly aromatic plant common in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe.
This authentic Yellow Immortelle is the personal selection of Antonia Jover, an expert aromatologist with more than 30 years of experience. Familiar with both the growing areas and the small company that distils this wonder of nature with care and dedication, she has decided that our collection simply must include the finest Yellow Immortelle you will have the opportunity to try.
With a balanced content of Italidiones, its scent takes you on an aromatic journey of sensations.
In Corsica, where it grows abundantly, immortelle was regarded more as an invasive plant. Although the islanders knew it and used it for certain therapeutic purposes, it was not distilled. Its essential oil first began to be extracted just over 20 years ago, without anyone knowing quite what it would be used for. It unexpectedly became a tremendous success, and production could not keep up with demand. This is why it began to be cultivated in other regions, particularly the Balkans.
It is claimed, for obvious commercial reasons, that immortelle from other places produces the same essential oil and has the same therapeutic properties. The truth is that this is not the case. It is very important to make sure that the essential oil we buy meets the appropriate specifications. Its very specific and unique biochemical composition gives this essential oil its distinctive therapeutic properties.
