Botanical Origin

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a flowering plant native to regions of Europe and widely cultivated for its aromatic properties.

This oil is sourced from lavender grown in the Kashmiri region of India, where the climate supports the production of aromatic flowering tops suitable for distillation.

Lavender has long been used across different cultures for its fragrance in bathing, scenting, and general aromatic use.

Extraction

This oil is obtained through steam distillation of lavender flowering tops and leaves.

During distillation, heat releases volatile aromatic compounds present in the plant material. These vapors condense after cooling to form essential oil.

Flower-derived oils such as lavender typically produce balanced aromatic profiles with both floral and herbaceous components.

Composition

Lavender essential oil contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds including:

• linalool
• linalyl acetate
• lavandulol
• terpinen-4-ol

These compounds contribute to the oil’s floral, slightly sweet, and herbaceous aroma.

Natural variation in composition may occur depending on growing conditions and harvest timing.
