Our organically crafted Lavender Absolute is extracted from the iconic purple flowers of the Lavandula angustifolia (L. officinalis and L. vera) growing in glorious purple fields dotting parts of the French countryside. Lavender Absolute Oil is a middle note that is sweeter but less floral than Lavender Essential Oil, however the two together can form a very pleasant combination. The aroma of Lavender Absolute is truly sublime, exuding summer fresh sweet floral and soft green herbaceous notes with sweet musk and woody undertones, all incredibly tenacious.

Lavender is native to the Mediterranean region, and it also grows South tropical Africa and East of India. France is one of the main producers, along with Bulgaria, China and Russia. There are 28 species of Lavender; all grow in dry, sunny and rocky regions. The harvest takes place during the blooming period from the end of June to end of August. The strands are more fragrant when they are harvested just before the flowers bloom.
