We are excited to offer the unique and unusual organic Lavender Seville, a subspecies of Lavandula stoechas. This essential oil's aroma differentiates markedly from that of the typical aroma of Lavender oils. Seville Lavender's aroma has exquisite sweet apricot/fig/dried fruit notes carried on cognac-like vapors with leather, dried fruit and deep lavender notes in the long drydown. The color alone may be very appealing for perfumers because it is lighter in color than the absolute of Lavender Seville.

Lavandula stoechas subsp. luisieri plants are found mainly in the southwest corner of Spain and are widely seen throughout Portugal. They are often found with L. viridis, producing occasional hybrids. Two chemotypes of L. stoechas subsp. luisieri occur, with an unidentified ester as their main component.[1] The analysis shows there is no camphor or fenchone found in the more common L. stoechas varieties, but it does contain a small amount of verbenone accounting for a distinct ketonic note.[2] There is also limonene (lemony scent), cubebol, and irregular esters and other compounds unique to L. luisieri.[3]
