Essential Oils
While lavenders grow spontaneously, lavandins are crosses between species, reproduced by cuttings. Cultivated for its pretty mauve flowers, this Lavandin grosso gives an essential oil that comes from a beautiful estate in the South of France. Appreciated in particular for perfuming soaps and other care products, it is both fresh and delicately camphorated.
If lavender essential oils offer less sought-after fragrances than those of a beautiful organic wild lavender, they still allow access to a world of scents that can be close to it, for a reasonable price.
