Description of Lavender Essential Oil French Alpine
"The Mother of
essential oils."
The scent of Lavender French Alpine
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 French Alpine is grown in the highest regions of the French Alps and is true Lavandula angustifolia. This oil is distilled from plants that have been selected by farmers to give the best quality at the highest yields. As the yields are better, the price is a little lower than the Lavender French Population type but still this is true 100% species pure. This oil forms the basis of 38/40 or 40/42 or even 50/52 Lavenders as it has the highest levels of linalyl acetate the percentages referring to the ester value after acetylation
