Description

Botanical Name: Lavandula × intermedia (Super)

Farm Location: France

Extraction: Steam Distilled

France’s lavender fields are renowned worldwide, and nestled within them grows Lavandula × intermedia “Super,” one of the most elegant lavandin cultivars. Often considered the most “lavender-like” of the lavandin hybrids, Lavandin Super bridges the gap between the sweetness of True Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and the freshness of Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia). Its essential oil captures the essence of these Provençal landscapes—gentle yet vibrant, floral with a touch of herbaceous brightness.

Compared to Lavandin Grosso, Super produces a softer, more refined aromatic profile, closer to traditional lavender. Its balance of linalool and linalyl acetate brings forward the classic lavender sweetness, while subtle traces of camphor and cineole add freshness and lift. This makes Lavandin Super especially prized in fine perfumery and high-quality aromatherapy blends where clarity and natural floral elegance are desired.

Cultivated under the Mediterranean sun in regions such as Provence and Vaucluse, Lavandin Super thrives in the dry, mineral-rich soils that have long made France the epicenter of aromatic cultivation. Harvested in full bloom and distilled with precision, the resulting oil reflects both the artistry of French farming traditions and the natural purity of the plant itself.
