Grown synthetic free in France, cut and distilled while in flower. The scent is bright and clean and mellows to fresh crushed and floral. It is suitable for first aid or personal care, but the full scent and chemistry may mean that you keep it for a perfume. This high altitude angustifolia is a new offering. My distributors nudged me to find angustifolia of high quality that would be less expensive than the Fine French Lavender I currently offer. The exchange rate and less and less true Lavender grown means that balance between quality and cost is changing position.
