Description
A popular essential oil steam-distilled from the flowers and stalks of the Lavandula Officinalis plant, Lavender Oil 40/42 is one of the most historically significant ingredients of the fragrance industry. Typically colorless or very pale, this oil has a sweet, floral, and herbaceous aroma that retains a pleasantly woody undertone. Its top note is slightly fruity and sweet, though this quickly transitions into a balsamic, semi-floral dry down. In fragrance, French lavender oil is mainly used within herbal or citrus fragrances, particularly those that include ingredients such as bergamot, rosemary, and clary sage. The versatility of lavender oil, combined with its historic usage within European and Mediterranean perfumery, has made it a staple product of the fragrance industry for centuries.

Distillation of lavender and lavandin is ongoing in France, with some farmers reporting lower yields when compared to last year’s season. Large volumes of carryover material from the past two lavender seasons will compensate for recent losses in productivity. However, the continued loss of lavender production areas in the southeast of France does not seem promising for future harvests.
