Our story

It’s in the heart of the Tarn, in Cambounet -sur-le-Sor, that the Sirius story takes shape, in the midst of fields of lavender, pastel and Cynara.

Meet the founder

Sirius was founded by Gilles Berthoumieux in 1994. At the time, Gilles was an agricultural engineer specializing in tropical agronomy. His first job was to manage a dozen essential oil distilleries in Madagascar and the Comoros. Returning to France in the early 90s, he became a source for Sanoflore and Pierre Franchomme, two pioneers of essential oils in France.

Gilles drew up the charters for the first organic certifications for essential oils, with the French Ministries of Agriculture and Health.

He then founded Sirius, which quickly became a recognized and essential supplier for all the aromatherapy and cosmetics brands on the market.

” Sourcing organic essential oils from around the world, guaranteeing superior quality and total traceability: that was my vision nearly 30 years ago, and it remains unchanged today. We are now recognized as experts in the sourcing of organic essential oils. Our aim is to inform and promote the health benefits of aromatherapy. By developing long-term production projects, we are making our own contribution to a more sustainable world. ” Gilles Berthoumieux – Founder of Sirius
