Essential Oils

Lavandin Italian.

An artisan lavandin grown organically in Northern Italy and a mystery even to those who chose it: rich in linalyl acetate, with the subtly spicy note of a fine true lavender.

About this product


Some oils arrive with a puzzle attached. The grower calls this one lavandin Grosso, yet it smells nothing like a French Grosso; to the nose it is closer to the Avice Hill lavender Chris Burder produces in Australia, a true angustifolia, with the same subtly spicy note. No one has yet found the constituent that explains it.

It is artisan grown, organically, in Northern Italy, by a distiller who offers a chain of transparency all the way back to the farm. Its chemistry is its own: much higher in linalyl acetate than the French Grosso, and a little higher even than lavandin Super, at 38.37% against 36.50%, while significantly lower in linalool and 1,8-cineole. A mystery oil, then, but a delightful one, with the esters that make a lavandin welcome in a calming evening blend.

Details

  • Botanical name: Lavandula x hybrid
  • Origin: Northern Italy, artisan grown organically
  • Linalyl acetate: 38.37%
  • Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening

How to use

Let it lead a calming evening blend, or diffuse it on its own and decide for yourself what it reminds you of. Store it in the dark, refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones.
