Sourcing

Every note has a name and a place.

We work with single growers, not brokers. When a harvest ends, our stock ends with it — and often the composition does too.

Chiapas — Amber Resin

A three-family cooperative outside Palenque supplies the amber base of Rumé Ember. Their resin is tapped from October to January and rested for a full year before it reaches us.

Tuscany — Iris Pallida

The iris in Rumé Veil is grown in a single field near San Polo. Rhizomes are lifted after three seasons, dried for ten months, then macerated for another six.

Les Cayes — Haitian Vetiver

The heart of Rumé Dusk. One cooperative, one distillation, one shipment per year. Some years the fragrance simply is not available. That is the rule.
