Lavender Essential Oil Steam Distilled Bulgarian 50ml

• Fresh at first, with a clean herbal lift that feels bright rather than heavy.
• A gentle floral heart follows, rounded by the slightly sweet fruitiness lavender is loved for in perfumery.
• It suits quiet evening rooms, freshly aired bedrooms, and small moments when you want scent to mark a pause.
• The aroma is easy to blend with other essential oils, especially citrus, woods and soft herbal notes.
• Use it when you want a natural lavender fragrance rather than a powdery or synthetic interpretation.

This oil comes from Lavandula angustifolia, using the flowering tips of the plant. Steam distillation draws out the volatile aromatic compounds without using a fixed oil, giving the scent its clear, recognisable lavender character.

The source country is Bulgaria, a region widely associated with lavender cultivation. Here, the appeal is simple: a classic floral essential oil with a fresh, sweet profile and a clean botanical identity.

Add a small amount to an oil burner or vaporiser for a lavender-scented room. For a bath, blend with a suitable carrier or bath dispersant before adding to the water, as essential oils are highly concentrated.

For skin use, dilute with a carrier oil and patch test first. Avoid use during pregnancy, around babies or young children, or near pets unless guided by a qualified professional. Keep the bottle closed, upright and away from heat and direct light.

Lavender has been valued for centuries as a fragrant plant, especially in washing, linen cupboards, perfumery and home scenting. Its English name is often linked with the Latin word for washing, reflecting its long connection with cleanliness and domestic ritual. In modern perfumery, lavender sits between floral and herbal families, bringing brightness, softness and a familiar countryside character without needing to dominate a blend.
