Product Overview

Lavender is the most popular and most often used essential oil, particularly here in the United States. It can be blended into many formulas and has been a part of fine fragrances for centuries. Lavender Absolute is a middle note that is sweeter but less floral than Lavender essential oil, however the two together can form a very pleasant combination; it can also be used as a modifier to help mask unpleasant aromas of oils that are used in perfumery formulas. It takes approximately 130 kilos of Lavender flowers to make 1 kilo of Lavender Absolute.[1]

Lavandula angustifolia is the true Lavender, as opposed to Spike Lavender (L. latifolia) or the hybrid Lavandins. It is produced throughout the world, although France is considered the premier growing region, and is the source of our best-selling Lavender essential oils: High Elevation, France - Organic, Maillette, and Wild.

soooo smooth

Rating

This is like lavender heaven. My mom loves lavender and she thinks this is the best one. It is really smooth, it doesn't have the camphor effect of lavender oils and it has a hint of vanilla and coumarin that I really like. I made a perfume with peru balsam and a little bit of tonka and wow. it is like munching on vanilla ice cream in the middle of a lavender field

I've come back for more, in a bigger bottle. Its not like other lavender I have had. It has this beautiful vanilla undertone that settles in your senses after the first lightly green whiff.

:D just two words for this: JUST PERFECT!

Review by Juan 10/3/2020

Magnificent!

Rating

I am so impressed with this lavender absolute, even the gorgeous bright green color. At the opening it smells like lying in a field of lavender flowers--the closest I've ever smelled to the actual flower, with none of the medicinal burn that so many lavender oils have. I was repeatedly surprised by the unexpected notes that emerged during the drydown. As other reviewers have noted, it is coumarin-rich and develops a lovely soft, creamy tonka-like aroma late in the (very long!) drydown. It could harmonize well with a variety of floral, white floral, hay, tea, powder, or green scents, and I have a feeling that in a blend, this absolute could be one of those "secret ingredients" that people allllllmost recognize yet can't quite name.

Amazing!

Rating

Wow, just wow. I cannot tell enough of this oil. Definitely a much more complex and interesting substance than regular lavender oil, ultra tenacious with a lovely creamy drydown. I'm also smitten with the quality of the service. I asked to include a sample of rose absolute instead of one other sample after I placed the order. I got the originally ordered samples AND 1 oz organic Rose Hydrosol, which I loved to bits. Thank you Eden Botanicals!
