About this product
An aroma lamp glowing on a side table, a book, a blanket, and the room slowly filling with something soft and sweet. John Steele calls Mailette the purple cloud, and once you have smelled it you understand why: if velvet had a scent, this would be it.
It is steam-distilled in France from the flowering tops of cloned Lavandula angustifolia. Mailette is particularly high in linalyl acetate, which gives it an extra sweetness, and it is an exquisite choice for emotional use and for the aroma lamp, whenever you want a sweet, floral lavender rather than a sharp, herbal one.
Details
- Botanical name: Lavandula angustifolia
- Origin: France, cloned plants
- Method: steam-distilled from the flowering tops
- Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening
How to use
Warm it in an aroma lamp or a diffuser in the evening, or add it to a blend when you want lavender at its softest and sweetest. Store it in the dark, refrigerated, and decant half-full bottles into smaller, full ones.
Bring home a purple cloud for the quiet end of the day.
