Claire and Luc Couturier grow rosewood — Aniba rosaeodora, the tree that was cut almost to extinction for perfume — on the route de la Pointe Combi, and distil the essential oil themselves, organically. The visit takes in the plantation and the still.
Rosewood is a piece of Guianese history as much as a crop: the oil trade stripped the coast of the tree in the early twentieth century. Book ahead.
