Lothantique began in 1920 as a small distillery for aromatic plants at the foot of the Montagne de Lure in Haute-Provence, founded by Joséphine Mouranchon, who grew lavender. In 1987 her grandchildren, the Vogade family, revived the brand under a new name. Today there are soaps, creams, home fragrances and candles, above all the “Lavandes de Nestor,” named after the uncle who once distilled lavender.
