Lavender Essential Oil

(Lavandula angustifolia)

Steam distilled from the delicate purple blossoms of Lavandula angustifolia (also known as L. officinalis or L. vera), Lavender Essential Oil is sourced from the rolling, lavender-laced fields of the French countryside. While this iconic plant can thrive in rocky soils across many regions, France is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest, most aromatic lavender, thanks to its nutrient-rich soils and ideal Mediterranean climate.

French Lavender Oil carries the classic floral aroma of lavender with refined nuances—softly sweet, herbaceous, and green, making it exceptionally suited for aromatherapeutic and skincare applications. The purity and depth of scent found in this variety reflect the natural beauty and time-honored cultivation traditions of France’s legendary lavender fields.
