WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FRAGRANCES.
What started as our vision to create an energy field of scent, light and joie de vivre
has now grown into a company that has become a pioneer in organic aromatherapy
and natural skincare.
In 2021 we will already be celebrating our 35th anniversary.

The foundation for this success has been pure oils, unadulterated natural products
and the knowledge of their effects. From the very beginning, we have followed clear
principles. The highest possible quality of our products and the highest possible
purity of the ingredients.
We foster personal relationships with all our organic farm partners worldwide
and believe in fair business practices with respect to people, nature and the
environment. Every aspect of our business and all our decisions are based on
these principles.

PRIMAVERA means spring. A new beginning. With our 100 % natural products we
share with you scent, light and joie de vivre that comes along with springtime to ho-
listically enhance well-being. Especially in these challenging times essential oils can
provide us with much-needed strength: they calm the nervous system, support inner
balance and provide a positive mood and confidence. Immerse yourself in our fra-
grant worlds and experience spring with PRIMAVERA – in every season and at every
stage of your life.

     QUALITY          quality and sustainability, ensuring that our products are
                      clean, our processes are conscious and our practices are

CAJEPUT OIL
     FROM CAMBODIA

     In the search for natural essential
     cajeput oil, we found a new farm
     partner in Cambodia in 2016, where
     cajeput leaves are traditionally harves-
     ted. To distill the essential cajeput oil
     according to our high quality standards
     and to support the local farmers, new
     stainless steel distilleries were built in
     which the precious oil has been pro-
     duced ever since.

        Around 1.5 kilograms of essential
        oil are extracted from about 150
        kilog
            ­ rams of cajeput leaves, after
        about 8 hours of distillation.

      In aromatherapy, we insert the full power of plants
     for body, mind and soul. To achieve this, we combine
           the natural power of organic floral waters,
     organic body oils and essential oils. With this holistic
         approach, our products support not only daily
      wellbeing, but also the mobilization of physical and
                mental self-healing powers and
                     individual health care.

PRECIOUS
     ESSENCES
     FOR HIGHEST
     EFFICACY

     100 % natural, pure essential oils are pure treasures packed with benefits.
     They work holistically on a physical and mental level and have many different
     benefits. In order to provide the full spectrum of efficacy of a plant, the purity
     of the essential oils is our highest priority. The precious drops are obtained
     from flowers, leaves, twigs, or from the entire plant by traditional methods
     such as steam distillation. Large quantities of plant material are often used
     to produce one precious drop of essential oil.
