It is important to have good quality vials for precious aromatics, even - or especially - in small quantities.
Keep away from (sun)light, heat, oxidation and adding any external materials in the bottles : they degrade your aromatics.to read more about keeping and curing oils

For bulk and wholesale orders, we offer perfumer's professional glass or aluminium bottles of different size, made in Grasse, France.
This section - that is updated when needed - describes in more detail the different vials and bottles available for your retail orders.
For any retail orders, you can also always contact us for customization. For example, it is completely possible to ask for 2ml in a 3ml attar bottle, or 3ml in 5ml uv blocking aromatherapy bottle, etc. In short : any volume that fits a bottle is possible.
Tailor-made personal service is very much part of our philosophy and focus on quality.
On this topic, note that headpsace (oxygen in the bottle) does accelerate the oxidation process, though. It is not a necessarily a bad thing for oils that keep for a very long time, like sandalwood or oud oils (it might even fasten some facets of their desirable aging process), but fragile and volatile oils will see their already short-ish shelf life reduced. In case of doubt on wheter it is a good idea for any oil or attar, just ask us.
1. High-recovery laboratory glass vials
All those three vials are designed for precise lab use, and have a high recovery design (so small quantities of oil do not lie flat and dry up at the bottom of your bottles, making them perfect for small quantities of precious aromatics).
Also for all bottles, there is a silicone septum on the inside part of the cap, so oils are only in contact with glass / silicone, never plastic.
Those bottles are transparent, allowing you to enjoy the robe of the oils (their colour and appearance), which I am personally very fond of.
Consequently, it is imperative that you keep them in the dark, if you want your oils to last. We send nice little (free) pouches with orders to facilitate this.
0.3 ml for samples - Total recovery
Here are our new (August 2026) 0.3 ml lab vials.
Their small volume makes it ideal for samples and for optimizing their conservation : minimum headspace (space for oxygen, leading to oxidation) and a narrow shape of the inner container volume that prevents the last drops from drying for as long as possible.
0.3 ml total recovery sample vials
For bigger quantities (1 to 1.5 ml) there are currently 3 models we use.
The second one is the default option.
1ml - Total Recovery (as seen on the left of the picture below)
Those have the most elaborate recovery system (compare the bottom of the interior of the three vials on the picture below).
They are slightly top heavy though and should be manipulated with special care when opened (they are designed for lab use and to be stored in grids).
Our recommended hack is to make them stable with a clamp (see second picture below)
1.5 ml - Maximum Recovery (as seen on the centre of the picture)
The recovery system is less elaborate, but still excellent (and lab standard).
They are not top heavy (but as they are tiny, securing them is always worthy).
This is our default bottle for 1,5 ml quantities and for some of the free samples for which the quantity is above 0.3 ml.
1.5 ml - Maximum Recovery (as seen on the right of the picture)
Those are similar in quality to the model directly above, but come from another maker, also1.5 ml.
We keep them as backup in case of delay when resupplying our default model.

How we recommend to operate when opening the 1ml total recovery lab vials
(to avoid any spillage / accident as the model is 'top heavy')
2. Attar Bottles with glass applicator
These quality Bottles follow the traditional Attar / Ittar format, very widespread from the Middle-East to Southeast Asia.
Made form very solid glass, they are well balanced. The Applicator is made of glass and a silicone septum in the cap makes sure precious oil are only in contact with glass and silicone, not plastic.
Using the applicator stick as an ... applicator can only be done with care (as it will bring little particles of what it is in contact with back inside the bottle, including dead skin cells, which can degrade the oils).
If you use the applicator make sure you are not wearing any body cream, or are sweaty etc. You would corrupt your oils this way.
Applicators are wonderful to use to smell the oils outside of their bottle, as smelling directly from the bottle generate a serious olfactory bias.
The two available formats, shown on the picture are 3ml and 6ml.
Those bottles are transparent, allowing you to enjoy the robe of the oils (their colour and appearance), which I am personally very fond of. Consequently, it is imperative that you keep them in the dark, if you want your oils to last.
3. Swiss made UV blocking Aromatherapy Bottles
These are classical high quality aromatherapy bottles, designed and fabricated in Switzerland. They come with UV blocking glass (but careful no non fully opaque-glass stops UV 100% so you still need to be mindful of sunlight).
Those I use mostly for classical aromatherapy oils, less so for the most precious aromatics (but can do so on request if you prefer)
The default colour is blue for the 5ml and 12ml formats shown on the picture below. We use blue and sometines brown for bigger formats up for some bulk orders (or blends) up to 100 ml.
They come with a sealed white cap and a dropper appropriate for the thickness and viscosity of the oils you order.
Those bottles are also the base for our ambient and ceremonial sprays, on which high quality spray-dispensers are mounted.
Sizes available: 5, 12, 20, 30, 50 & 100 ml.
4. Perfume Bottles
For our natural perfumes, we use high quality glass bottles with precise and robust sprayers.
They come in two formats: 15 ml & 30 ml.
