Lavender Essential Oil (Bulgarian)
Average Product Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Based on 18 Customer Reviews)
Main Constituents:
Linalool: 26%
Linalyl acetate: 22%
Botanical Name: Lavandula angustifolia
Plant Part: Flowers
Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
Origin: Bulgaria
Description: Lavender Bulgarian is an evergreen woody shrub, up to 1 meter tall, with pale green, narrow linear leaves and violet blue flowers.
Color: Pale yellow to yellow liquid.
Common Uses: Properties of Lavender Bulgarian Essential Oil include analgesic, anti-convulsive, anti-depressant, anti-phlogistic, antirheumatic, antseptic, antispasmodic, antiviral, bactericide, carminative, cholagogue, cicatrisant, cordial, cytophylactic, decongestant, deodorant, and as a diuretic. Herbalist regards Lavender as the most useful and versatile essential oil for therapeutic purposes. Lavender is the essential oil most commonly associated with burns and healing of the skin. It also has antiseptic and analgesic properties which will ease the pain of a burn and prevent infection. It also has cytophylactic properties that promote rapid healing and help reduce scarring. The scent of Lavender is said to have a calming effect on the body and it can be used to reduce anxiety, stress and promote sleep. Lavender Bulgarian is a very therapeutic grade comparable in status to the better known Lavender Population. The different soil, temperature, precipitation, etc. contributes to some subtle changes in scent, the greatest advantage being for more sophisticated label claims.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Top
Strength of Aroma: Strong
Blends well with: Bay, Bergamot, Chamomile, Citronella, Clary Sage, Geranium, Jasmine, Lemon, Mandarin, Orange, Palmarosa, Patchouli, Pine, Thyme, Rosemary, Rosewood and Ylang-ylang.
Aromatic Scent: Lavender Bulgarian Essential has a rich lavender-floral scent which is somewhat fruitier, mellower and less camphoraceous than our Lavender 40/42. It smells more like fresh lavender.
History: Lavender is adapted to living in a dry climate and is native to the western half of the Mediterranean, reaching altitudes of up to 1800 meters. It is believed that the Romans and the Benedictine monks subsequently introduced it to rest of Europe.
Cautions: Lavender Bulgarian Essential Oil is non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

I've tried French and Spanish lavender oils before, and this one definitely smells a lot more fruiter. It's a sharp fruity floral aroma that stands out. It's too expensive to use in cold process soaps, so it's more ideal in blends or lotions. Use a less expensive variety of lavender in soaps, like Spike or Spanish. Also, the oil, like other lavender, is strong, so a little does go along way to calm nerves and anxieties. Perfect for almost any skin conditions. Lavender (of any sort) is good to have around.

This is truly an exquisite oil. It is so pleasant, I defused some in our bedroom and my husband was very pleased. It was the first oil I defused where I got such a reaction from him. He has been under a lot of stress and I think it also helped him sleep. I will definitely buy more. Thank you New directions for giving us so many choices.

Very nice lavender - not too strong, very soft and minty. It worked great in a mask and my skin cleared up almost immediately. I also put it in the moisturizer base and put it on my (teething and very cranky) 7 month old and she is knocked out in minutes. THANK YOU!

A very rich and complete Lavender of high therapeutic quality. Not too bitter or green, almost soft and powdery. Subtle differences in scent between the Bulgarian and the Mont Blanc (in my opinion) but well worth it to have both.

THis could be my favorite lavender, great for therapy of all kinds, fresh scent. I like the orafice reducers on these 3.3 oz bottles. I wish you would offer them on the smaller bottles/vials you sell. I use Lavender for everything, headaches, sleep, anxiety, of course massage. I use it on my skin with tto for blackheads and acne. The bulgarian is balanced, affordable and therapeutic.

I've ordered three Lavenders from New Directions: Lavender French, Lavender 40/42 and Lavender Bulgarian. All three smell similar in the bottle, but in use each takes on a life of its own. Lavender Bulgarian is extremely floral and sweet with no herbaceous notes. Lavender French and Lavender Bulgarian are tied as my two favorite Lavender essential oils ever!

It never fails to impress me how rich and full bodied this Bulgarian lavender is! Although I chose it for its therapeutic properties, I highly recommend it as an all-purpose lavender essential oil.

I am a retired sargeant major of artillery(Canada) and, since my retirement several years ago, I have had the greatest of difficulty sleeping. Over the years I have tried many different kinds, brands,strengths, and forms of lavender essences but never the Bulgarian (which I only found out about recently). It just arrived and for the first time in what seems to be ages, I have had a good night's sleep. The aroma seems stronger and more soporific than the French and seems heavier and more robust than the others I've tried.It's not Granny's lavender but could be Grandpa's.Thank you ND!

I purchased 3 different types: this, french and barreme. This one is still nice, but not my favourite of the 3. It smells like lavender, but not as lavender-y as the other 2. It has a hint of something else...a whiff of something like pine maybe? I can't put my finger on it, but it's definitely a forest smell. I love how new directions gives us so many choices to experience all the subtle differences in one plant variety!

I give this lavender four stars instead of five not on the basis of the quality of the oil, but on the basis of what scents please me. This is a nice lavender, but a bit sweeter and more aggressively floral than I prefer. Strong fragrance that will hold up well in a variety of applications, but would overpower weaker oils. This variety of lavender is probably best blended with the more intensely herbaceous EOs or strong florals that will not be overpowered by this oil's intensity. If you're looking for a more subdued lavender, try the French Lavender.

This is the best Lavender I've ever tried. Pricer than others but definitely worth the extra expense. This one's great in a diffuser, especially in my daughter's room when she has trouble sleeping. Makes a wonderful relaxation bath oil not to mention soaps. This holds extremely well in CP soap!
