Fresh with a soft powdery note, our Organic Lavender pure essential oil has a calming floral aroma reminiscent of relaxing spa days and warm spring evenings. Aromatically, Lavender is a middle-note essential oil, the main body and balance of a blend, meaning its scent will last a few hours.
Originally native to the Southern Mediterranean, Lavender is now found in much of Western Europe. The name ‘Lavender’ comes from the word ‘lavare’ meaning ‘to wash’ and was used throughout ancient Europe to scent bathing water. It was often used as a strewing herb, which is when a plant is placed on the floor around the home to release its aroma when walked on. Lavender had a starring role in the creation of the word ‘Aromatherapy’ when French perfume chemist René- Maurice Gattefossé burnt his arm in a laboratory accident and plunged it into a vat of Lavender oil, not knowing he would be so impressed by its restorative properties.
