Lavandula angustifolia Steam distilled from flowers in Bulgaria.

Aroma: A top note of strong aroma, this complex highly therapeutic lavender has a fresh, herbaceous, floral scent with a woody, balsamic undertone.

Description: The Lavender plant grows to about one meter in height and produces long thin purple-blue flowers. The entire plant is covered with oil glands, which are in the star-shaped hairs that cover the plant.

Common Uses: Lavender has been used since ancient times. The Romans added lavender flowers to delouse in bathwater, or to delouse and deodorize laundry - hence the name from the Latin lavare, 'to wash'.
