In the 1920's The Mouranchon Family had a distillery of aromatic plants in the town of Chateauneuf Val-Saint-Donat. Over time, through the vision and determination of Josephine, the family leader and matriarch, the family business expanded from lavender essention oil to include the making of lavender sachets, soaps and eaux de toilettes. In 1987 Josephine's grandchildren re-launched the family business and called it LOTHANTIQUE. Currently, LOTHANTIQUE is located in Peyruis, and their products are formulated with environmental consciouness.
