Seville Lavender grows wild in the sandy-clay soils of Andalusia and Portugal. Less harsh than Spike Lavender, less cold than Stoechas Lavender, and unique in its kind, its fragrance is original and complex: a first fresh flight gives way to fruity notes to end up with resinous aromas, also evoking a sweet smell of tobacco
Quality Botanical family: Lamiaceae Latin name: Lavandula stoechas L. ssp luisieri Origin: Spain Cultivation: Controlled organic agriculture - Certisys-BE1 control Distilled part: Flowering tops Production process: Steam distillation Quality: 100% pure, natural and chemotyped Olfactory notes: kinetic, fruity, resinous Main constituents Esters: luisieryl acetate (22%), lavandulyl acetate (5%) Monoterpenols: luisierol (10%), linalool (2.35%) Oxides: 1.8 cineole (18%) Ketones: borneone (camphor: 3.7%), fenchone (1.6%) Our opinion Although botanists refer to it as Stoechas Lavender, it is quite different! Both in biochemistry and aroma, Seville Lavender develops a unique personality, where harmony and control coexist. Largely underused, its pedigree is worth the diversions and should make it possible to make greater use of a species that is widely available, in large quantities, and wild to boot.
