These include ylang-ylang, vanilla, coffee, cocoa, pepper, geraniums, cinnamon, frangipani and plants typical of northern Madagascar. The island's volcanic origin and the tropical climate that dominates the seasons make Nosy Be an island with exceptional flora and fauna. Its reputation as a small paradise is well deserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are eleven volcanic lakes on the island, which are an important source of water for cultivation and an excellent habitat for animals. The landscape is extremely varied and dominated by large hills and low mountains such as the Lokobe Nature Reserve (450 m) and Mount Passot (350 m), from where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire island. The rugged coastline has many inlets and small bays to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatchouli\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatchouli is a plant traditionally cultivated in Indonesia, China and India. In the past, patchouli leaves were used to keep pests and unpleasant odours away from precious textiles such as silk and cashmere. The scent permeated the fabrics and the women who wore these textiles could enjoy the beguiling fragrance together with the precious fabrics on their skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere were no patchouli plantations in Madagascar, and an attempt to grow patchouli a few years ago failed due to the island's extremely hot climate. The manager of Robertet's ylang-ylang plantation had a brilliant idea: he took some young plants from the abandoned plantation, propagated them by hand and replanted them on the island of Nosy Be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe made sure the delicate plants were well protected from strong sunlight by large, shady trees on the plantation. This masterful experiment made it possible to create a new quality of patchouli essential oil. The herbal and sharp camphor notes are less prominent. Woody notes and aromas of bitter cocoa dominate this outstanding quality of patchouli oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe work required to cultivate the plants is long and laborious. Harvesting is also very strenuous due to the low height of the plant. The leaves are picked exclusively by hand, with the best ones being those that are already turning yellow. After harvesting, the leaves are stored in a dry, shady place for at least a week. During this time, the leaves lose moisture and trap the valuable essential oil in high concentrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatchouli Nosy Be Extrait de Parfum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe increased concentration of patchouli in the Extrait de Parfum takes this hypnotic, beguiling fragrance to a whole new level.
