NATURAL INGREDIENTS, AT THE HEART OF ARGEVILLE'S WORK

Argeville's expertise: making natural extracts for use in fragrance and flavour formulations. Concretes, absolutes and resinoids are derived from primary and secondary processing before being purified and customized. Our unique separation technologies allow us to obtain tailor-made extracts with inimitable olfactory or gustatory profiles!

Value chain of natural ingredients

Unlike in gastronomy, plants cannot be incorporated into fragrance and flavour formulations as is. They are systematically processed into extracts, to concentrate interesting flavour compounds, but also to make it possible to weigh formulations at hundredths of a gram.

Natural extracts « made in France »

Our anchorage in Provence in a dedicated extraction unit allows us to directly exploit aromatic plants from the region and French soils.

Thanks to our know-how in sourcing and our network present all around the world, we can process dry and exotic plants, and thus offer our customers a diversified range of high- quality extracts. All our extracts are manufactured in-house and controlled by our expert
teams.

Solid and historical partnerships are the guarantee of quality raw materials, as well as traceability at each step of the manufacturing process, from the plant to the extract.

Exclusive and "made-to-measure" extracts

Within our R&D laboratory, our "home-made" ingredients are developed via separation and purification processes, allowing us to both enrich the range of our perfumers and flavourists with unique extracts, but also to offer our customers tailored qualities, adapted to their needs.
