Description of Lavender Essential Oil
"The Mother of
essential oils"
The scent of Lavender
essential oil can be described as being sweet, floral, herbaceous, having a refreshing scent with a pleasant,
balsamic-woody undertone. The oil is colorless or pale yellow. It is steam distilled from the freshly cut flowering tops of the plant. The flowers originate from an aromatic evergreen sub-shrub with linear or lance-shaped leaves.

Lavender is one of the most commonly adulterated
essential oils. Adulteration of true Lavender in the
essential oil trade is common. Unscrupulous producers often adulterate with the addition of Lavandin
essential oil. The Aromatherapy Place uses GC/MS technology to test every
essential oil for impurities. GC/MS testing can detect impurities to one part per billion.
