From Haute-Provence to the World

In the 1960s/70s

Founded in 1898 by Henri Reynaud in Montbrun-les-Bains, in the heart of Haute-Provence, H. Reynaud & Fils is a pioneer in the distillation of French essences.

Building on this expertise and local roots, H. Reynaud & Fils diversified into international essences, resinoids, and gums. Thanks to a worldwide network of buyers and distributors, H. Reynaud & Fils showcased the finest fragrances for the benefit of major perfumeries. By combining this meticulous sourcing work with its R&D expertise, H. Reynaud & Fils has become a benchmark in the world of natural ingredients.

In the 1970s and 1980s, fragrance compositions and flavor activities naturally joined H. Reynaud & Fils’ portfolio. Our creators, perfumers, and flavorists were thus able to use the HRF ingredient palette to create unique aromatic compounds exported worldwide.

In 2025, the Reynaud-Lalande family continues this century-old history with the arrival of the 5th generation at the head of the company.
