About Lavender Essential Oil

True lavender essential oil is steam-distilled from the flowering spikes of Lavandula angustifolia, the classic English lavender grown at altitude for the finest aroma. It takes a large volume of fresh blossoms to yield a single bottle of oil, which is why purity and sourcing matter so much.

The aroma is soft, floral, and gently herbaceous with a clean, sweet finish — far more refined than the sharper scent of lavandin hybrids. It is a middle note in perfumery that blends beautifully with citrus, cedarwood, and chamomile.

People reach for lavender oil in the diffuser to wind down in the evening, add a few diluted drops to bath and body-care blends, scent linen sprays and homemade candles, or simply keep a bottle on the nightstand as part of a calming bedtime ritual.

How This Oil Comes Together

Harvest

The flowering spikes of the lavender plant are gathered as the raw material for distillation.

Sorting

Harvested spikes are checked over and prepared so only good plant material reaches the still.

Distillation

The prepared lavender is steam-distilled, separating the fragrant oil from the plant material and water.

Lab Testing

Each finished batch is tested in the lab and the results are published as this batch's certificate of analysis.

Bottling

The tested oil is bottled and stored away from heat and light to protect its aroma until it ships.

Beyond Our Word For It

True lavender is easy to cut with cheaper lavandin or synthetic fragrance, which is exactly why we test every batch instead of asking you to take purity on faith.

The lab report for the current batch of this lavender oil is posted right here on this site, so you can see for yourself what was checked before the oil ever left our hands.

Where does this lavender oil come from and how is it made? ▾
This is Lavandula angustifolia, true lavender, steam-distilled from its flowering spikes. The plant used for this oil is grown and distilled in Bulgaria, then bottled 100% pure and undiluted with nothing added to stretch or dilute it.
How can I check that this oil is actually pure? ▾
