About this material
Lavender EO French High Altitude is a versatile oil; highly prized for its balance between freshness and softness—less sharp than some varieties, with a smoother floral heart and refined aromatic lift.
Its versatility allows it to function as:
A top-to-heart bridge in citrus-aromatic accords
A core note in fougères and colognes
A natural modifier, softening woody or herbal compositions
Its elegant diffusion and calming character make it not only a fragrance material but a sensory signature of cleanliness, sophistication, and timeless luxury.
The Linalyl Acetate content of Lavender High Altitude, approximately 55%, enhances the strength and full-bodied nature of the material. This harmonious fusion lends a fresh and uplifting quality to floral and herbal accords, making it an essential ingredient for Lavender bases.
With its strong Lavender field fresh scent, it adds a full-bodied floral note and a touch of fruity nuance.
Grown at high altitudes of around 1500 meters above sea level, Lavender High Altitude Essential Oil guarantees top quality.
A refined aromatic cornerstone of classical and modern perfumery.
Harvested from the sun-drenched fields of Provence, French Lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) embodies elegance, purity, and aromatic balance.
Steam-distilled from flowering tops, this oil reveals a beautifully structured olfactory profile—where fresh herbal brightness meets soft floral sweetness and a subtle balsamic warmth.
Its opening is luminous and aromatic, with green herbal facets and a fleeting fruity nuance reminiscent of pear and apple.
The heart blooms into a smooth floral body enriched with soft spice and coumarinic warmth, while the drydown settles into gentle woody, balsamic, and slightly camphoraceous undertones.
A cornerstone of fougère, cologne, and aromatic compositions, French Lavender offers both diffusive lift and refined natural depth, blending seamlessly with citrus, woods, spices, and patchouli accords.
Its calming, clean signature makes it indispensable across fine fragrance, personal care, and wellness applications.
