It is important to have good quality vials for precious aromatics, even 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

This section - that is updated when needed - describes in more detail the different vials and bottles available for your retail orders.
For bulk and wholesale orders, we offer perfumer's professional glass or aluminium bottles of different size, made in Grasse, France.
For any orders, you can also always contact us for customization. For example, it is completely possible to ask for 1ml in a 3ml attar bottle, or 2ml in 5ml uv blocking aromatherapy bottle, etc.
Tailor-made service is part of our philosophy and focus on quality.
1. High-recovery laboratory glass vials
All those 3 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.
As illustrated on the picture below, there are currently 3 models:
1ml - Total Recovery (as seen on the left of the picture) : those have the most elaborate recovery system (compare the bottom of the interior of the three vials). They are slightly top heavy though and should be manipulated with extreme care when open (they are designed for lab use and to be stored in grids). My personal hack is to make them stable with a clamp (see second picture, below the main one)
1.3 ml - Maximum Recovery (as seen on the center of the picture) : I am fond of those vials despite their unusual volume format (1.3 ml). The recovery system is less optimal, but still excellent (and lab standard). They are not top heavy (but as they are tiny, securing them is always worthy)
1.5 ml - Maximum Recovery (as seen on the right of the picture) : Those are similar in quality to the 1.3ml but from another maker, and using the more standard 1,5ml. Here as well, recovery system is less optimal then the Total recovery, but still excellent (and lab standard). They are not top heavy either (but as they are tiny, securing them is always worthy)
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, which can degrade the oils). Applicators are wonderful to use to smell the oil outside of the bottle, as smelling directly from the bottle gives an olfactory bias. 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.
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. I use blue and 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.
