Lavandin Grosso – Organic Essentilal Oils

Lavandin grosso is a hybrid plant produced from cross fertilisation of other lavenders. The essential oil, extracted by steam distillation, is highly regarded for its exceptionally intense scent. The oil is used almost exclusively for its scent rather than for any therapeutic properties. In commercial production of perfumes, many manufacturers replace true lavender oil with a high proportion of lavandin grosso.

Although it shares many similarities with lavender oil and has some light, floral undertones, Lavandin grosso oil’s aroma is particularly strong with a piercing camphor-like odour.
