Features: Lavender Maillette Essential Oil is a variety of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) selected for its consistent fragrance and quality.

The oil offers the classic sweet, floral, and slightly herbaceous aroma commonly associated with true lavender essential oil.
Properties/Benefits: Lavender Maillette Essential Oil contains a naturally balanced composition of aromatic compounds that contribute to its characteristic fragrance and suitability for personal care and fragrance formulations. The oil is particularly rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, two key constituents that provide the smooth floral scent and soft sweetness typically associated with true lavender oils.

Common Uses:
Did You Know? Lavender Maillette is a selected cultivar of the lavender plant (Lavandula angustifolia), originally developed in France for its consistent growth and aromatic qualities. Unlike traditional lavender populations grown from seed, Maillette plants are propagated through cuttings, ensuring uniform plants and a reliable fragrance profile from harvest to harvest. Lavender is widely cultivated in regions such as Provence, where the climate and well-drained soils create ideal conditions for growing fragrant lavender flowers. During the blooming season, the vibrant purple lavender fields in Provence are also known for attracting bees and other pollinators, which are naturally drawn to the nectar-rich blossoms.
Suggested Storage: Store below 30°C in a sealed container, away from direct sunlight.
