LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL - Australia
Lavender Essential Oil
Floral · Herbaceous · Green
Lavandula angustifolia
Steam distilled from the flowering tops of Lavender grown on Pyemmairrener Country, Tasmania, this Australian expression of Lavandula angustifolia has a beautifully fresh, aromatic character.
Less overtly sweet than many traditional European lavenders, its fragrance opens with fresh floral and herbaceous notes before revealing a greener, gently woody depth.
Lavender moves between floral, herbal and woody fragrance families. It is one of botanical perfumery’s great connecting materials, capable of softening citrus, lifting woods and bringing aromatic freshness to floral compositions.
A botanical of purple flowers, green stems and cool Tasmanian air.

Botanical Notes
Lavender — Lavandula angustifolia
Lavender is an aromatic perennial belonging to the Lamiaceae family, recognised by its slender flowering spikes and intensely fragrant foliage.
The flowering tops are harvested and steam distilled to capture an essential oil that is considerably more nuanced than the familiar idea of simply “lavender”.
Its versatility has also made Lavender an enduring material in perfumery, particularly within aromatic, fougère, floral and cologne compositions.

The Ritual
Add a few drops to a diffuser to bring a soft floral-herbal aroma into your space.
Use as part of an evening aromatic ritual, adding it to a diffuser or botanical mist as a familiar scent marker between the activity of the day and the quieter hours of night.
For body and massage oils, dilute appropriately in a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
In botanical perfumery, Lavender can form part of the heart of a fragrance or connect brighter top notes with deeper woods.
Try Lavender + Bergamot + Cedarwood Atlas for a beautifully aromatic, contemporary composition, or Lavender + Mandarin + Vetiver for something softer, warmer and earthier.
For a distinctly Australian expression, try Lavender + Kunzea + Australian Sandalwood.
