France
French mimosa is one of the most exceptional flowers still cultivated in France for Perfumery today.
The wild harvest of the young branches are handpicked in February when blooming begins within a very localized area: the Tanneron hills. Mimosa needs a perfect balance between a cold winter and little water to bloom in the best conditions. dsm-firmenich’s direct production, relying on fresh flowers supply, enables the most beautiful qualities of Mimosa.
The extremities of the plant are cut and processed immediately in dsm-firmenich's Tourrettes’ factory (South of France) for extraction. The difficult condition of the harvest, on wild lands with uneasy access, makes it a unique cultivation for the region.
