NINA’S began in 1672 when Pierre Diaz created “La Distillerie Frères”. It was the first company to distill lavender essential oils in France and became renowned for their art of creating fragrances.
With their distinguished reputation, “La Distillerie Frères” led by Pierre Diaz, who was also known as “the Magician of Aromas”, became the supplier of fragrances for King Louis XIV and the Court of Versailles, where their lavender and rose fragrances were later particularly enjoyed by Marie-Antoinette. The savoir-faire that has been passed down over the years to create these fragrances is now used to make unique NINA’S flavoured teas.
Origin of the Name
NINA’S was named after Nina Diaz, who created a recipe for a cake that was offered to Marie-Antoinette called NINASETTE in 1778. The women of the family Diaz inherited this antique recipe over the centuries.
