Origin: France
Description: Lavandin Abrialis 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 Abrialis 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 Abrialis 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.
