About this product
High in the French Alps of Haute Provence, the air is thin and cool, and wild lavender grows. This oil is wildcrafted there, a true lavender sauvage, then harvested and distilled at more than 1,400 meters. The altitude allows lower temperatures and much lower pressure, so more of the plant's volatile compounds come through into the oil.
The result is a benchmark of what French lavender can be: aromatically deeper and more intense than Lavender Mailette, and especially prized by those who work with oils energetically. Dr. Christoph Streicher has spoken of the vibrancy and power of wildcrafted oils compared with cultivated ones, and this lavender makes his case beautifully.
