Lavandin essential oil-
Imagine walking through a sun-drenched lavender field in the heart of Provence. The air is warm, but a soft breeze carries with it the fresh, herbal scent of wild lavender, mixed with the crisp, clean aroma of a distant storm that’s just beginning to roll in. The earthy, woody undertones of the ground beneath your feet blend with the floral notes of lavender, but there’s something more here-something sharp & refreshing, like a hint of pepper or spice. As you inhale, the scent deepens. It’s calming, yet uplifting, like the earth’s own breath, clearing the air & lifting your spirits. The fragrance brings a wave of clarity, and with it, a sense of peaceful energy. The lavender’s gentle sweetness mingles with a clean, almost medicinal coolness, a subtle reminder of the healing power of nature. Lavandin wraps you in its embrace, a perfect balance between serenity & invigoration, filling the air with a scent that feels both fresh and grounding, as if nature itself is inviting you to pause, breathe, & find stillness in the moment.

Generally regarded as safe in low dilutions. Still, consult a qualified health practitioner before use.

Use with caution in individuals with epilepsy due to mild camphor & cineole content (much lower than spike lavender, but still present).

Avoid contact; may cause irritation.
