The power of plants
Bison Grass is a plant native to Europe, Asia and North America. This aromatic grass from cold, humid zones finishes growing at the end of summer and can reach up to 60 cm in height. Its name comes from the Greek ‘hieros’ meaning holy and ‘chloe’ meaning grass and the plant has long been linked to religious practices, both in North America where it was burnt as incense and in Europe where it was thrown on the ground at the entrance to churches. Thanks to its delicate, vanilla-like fragrance, it is widely used today as a fragrant base in sweets and perfumes.
