History and Origin

True Lavender is a subshrub growing on the dry and sunny hillsides of southern France and other countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It comes with a long-standing reputation as a popular remedy. Known since Roman Antiquity as a perfume and aromatic, Lavender was named from Latin term lavare (meaning “to wash”). Not only using it to perfume linen, Romans also used it in private and public baths. But lavender was also known as a popular remedy against digestive disorders as well as a cosmetic care and insect repellant.

Aromatherapy Data Sheet

Extraction: Steam distillation
pH: 5,6-5,9
Aroma and taste: A floral, sweet scent; instantly recognizable, although it has an added strong honey overtone and is deeper, more base-note-like, than the oil. If an azure summer sky at four p.m. had a smell, this would be it. The taste is very soapy-sweet, like eating dried lavender, and I find many people do not like the flavor unless it is sweetened or blended.  
Stability and Shelf Life: Quite stable. Usually lasts at least two years, frequently longer, although this may vary with growing conditions. The odor, if nothing else, may start to degrade after eighteen to twenty months.
