Overview

Wild Grown Lavender Essential Oil

Our Lavender – Wild is from an uncultivated harvest in the south of France, an area well known for producing some of the planet’s most remarkable Lavender. Wild populations of plants have consistently varied genetics that, as a whole, constitute a particularly strong vigor for surviving some very difficult terrain. The natural vitality and life force of wild plants are reflected in the chemical composition of their essential oils, making them exceptionally suited for aromatherapy applications. Our beautiful Wild Lavender oil offers a very fresh floral and soft green herbaceous aroma with smooth diffusive notes. One could easily imagine being in a wild tangle of Lavender in full bloom – a heady experience you would not soon forget.

In consumer products, true Lavender (called interchangeably Lavandula angustifolia, L. officinalis and L. vera1) is often adulterated or replaced by the less expensive, but higher yielding hybrid Lavandins. This substitution only approximates the complex and robust aroma of Lavender and offers a much narrower spectrum of aromatic constituents.2 Although this iconic plant thrives in poor, rocky soil in many parts of the world, France is still considered to be the premier growing region, and is the source of two of our other best-selling Lavender essential oils (High Elevation and France – Organic).

In aromatherapy, Lavender is one of the most commonly used essential oils due to its general availability, modest price, versatility and universally pleasant scent. Lavender has been an integral part of fine fragrances for centuries – it is a middle to top note, can be used as a perfume modifier, and can also help mask unpleasant aromas of oils you want to use in blends. It is a popular addition to skincare preparations of all types, and is a favorite in diffusers, outdoor sprays, massage blends, and in relaxing baths.

Lavender oil has a cooling and drying aroma that is said to help calm the body, mind and spirit.   This is one oil that should be part of everyone’s collection!

I make oils for my business, and after trying this one I didn’t care much for it. It is very low scent.

My favourite lavender Review by

This lavender smells exactly like the lavender growing in our farm fields in Nova Scotia. Slightly sweet, not too camphorus with a caramel note lingering at the end.
I have tried all EB's lavenders and this is most definitely my favourite.

The most gorgeous lavender Review by

I'm very picky with my lavender. Too camphoraceous or two syrupy sweet, and I'm immediately turned off. This lavender is so delicious, it's like a drug to me. Just sweet enough, I can inhale directly from the bottle and experience an immediate relaxed, euphoric sensation. It has extraordinary therapeutic benefits as week--it knocks me out right before bed and I sleep like a rock all night!

I had high hopes for the organic lavender from France, but it was much too syrupy sweet.

Also, I usually try to buy organic when I can, but because this is wildcrafted, I reason that pesticides aren't a huge issue.

You will not be disappointed. This is my favorite lavender ever. So well worth the price.

Imagine burying your face in a field of lavender...this oil will give you that experience. It is so fresh, pure and clean the only thing better is the actual plant. I adore lavender and this oil is simply amazing.

Quite fine and dreamy Review by

This is a very calming oil. Found useful for dreaming, helping recall dream memories when awake and very nice for unwinding after a trying day. Cooling, softening and soothing any burns for sure. And the smell is very radiant. Goes great with helichrysum, blue chamomile and blue yarrow. Makes a very grape-like accord. But this oil alone I found it to be a nice, cold purple floral. Blends well with verbena, rosemary CT verbenone, carrot seed, sandalwood, frankincense (Frereana) and the Somali organic myrrh. This oil is very nice in blends, smelling the layers as you deepen it with what ever you choose always holds that gorgeous fruit floral note at the top. Well worth the buy!

Delicate notes from Provence Review by

The ONLY other time that I found Lavender as fresh and pure as Eden Botanicals, was on a trip to an aromatherapy producer in Provence many years ago. I had forgotten the difference in the delicacy notes it produces, not like the ketone camphors that usually emit from other sources. Thank you, thank you!
