Description
Lavender essential oil is steam distilled from the flowers of Lavandula angustifolia, grown in France. It has a fresh, sweet, green-floral aroma with a soft herbaceous edge, and sits as a middle to top note that brings balance to almost any blend.
One of the best-loved and most versatile essential oils, Lavender is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with relaxation and easing everyday tension. It is a favourite for calming evening diffuser blends and for creating a peaceful atmosphere at home, and it blends easily with citrus, woods and herbs. It is a mild skin and eye irritant and a skin sensitiser, so dilute it before use on the skin and patch test first.
