Since Neolithic times, humankind has used odorant substances for spiritual and profane purposes. What were these plants? Why were they forgotten? Their fragrances? To answer these questions, the L'Occitane team has studied numerous documents, from antiquity to the 20th century and created a database of 800 forgotten plants.
Presentation highlights:
- Original project coupling fragrance history and science.
- Creation of knowledge and added value thanks to the collaboration between L'Occitane en Provence and the French Côte d'Azur University (Ph.D. thesis funding).
- Discuss the opportunities of utilizing these plants in future fragrance innovation.
- Understanding the complexities of contribution to biodiversity restoration.
