LAVANDER
Lavandula angustifolia, also known as true lavender, officinal lavender or fine lavender, is sought after for its short, highly scented flower spikes. This species is particularly prized for the olfactory quality of its essential oil, which is highly appreciated in perfumery. It is also used in infusions, cooking, bouquets, decoration...
It is distinguished from lavandin, a natural hybrid of fine lavender and spike lavender, which is more sought after in industry.
