Botanical Name: Lavendula grosso

Plant Part: Flowering head

Extraction Method: Steam

Origin: India

Description: Lavandin Grosso is an aromatic evergreen shrub that is much larger than true Lavender. The flowering heads are more compressed with a dull, gray blue color.

Color: Clear light yellow

Common Uses: Lavandin is used almost exclusively for scent. Many commercial manufacturers use both Lavandin Grosso and Lavandin Super as replacements for Lavender 40/42. However, it should be noted that Lavandin has a much rougher, camphor type fragrance that is not as well rounded as traditional Lavender 40/42. It is also reputed to have applications with colds and head congestion.

Consistency: Thin.

Note: Top

Strength of Aroma: Strong

Blends well with: Lavandin blends well with most oils but has a tendency to overpower with heavy camphor overtones.

Aromatic Scent: Lavandin Grosso has a strong, somewhat piercing camphor like smell with some light, floral undertones characteristic of Lavender.

History: This hybrid apparently evolved naturally near the seas in Spain, Italy and France. It is now commercially produced in these same countries.

Cautions: Due to the high camphor content, Lavandin should be avoided during pregnancy and by those with epilepsy.

Disclaimer:
Please note, the International Federation of Aromatherapists do not recommend that Essential Oils be taken internally unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical Aromatherapy.
