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.

I wish I had ordered more than the 1/2 oz. This is by far my favorite Lavender, and I will definitely be ordering again.

Croatian lavender smells lighter than bulgarian and barreme. But it still has the sweetness that i like.

This is a really nice lavender. The scent is very balanced; you smell the sweetness of the flower but there's an herbal note to the smell as well. Of the three NDA lavenders I've tried (Bulgarian, Croatian and French), this one is second in terms of the strength of the scent and the depth of the floral component. I think this one would be best blended with other "herbal" smelling EOs, or to balance out another floral fragrance. I wouldn't recommend combining it with a citrus or spice oil.

I am very familiar with lavender essential oil. Croatian is a famous one and the one I love most.
The lavender essential oil I got from new direction is really cheap, while of high quality.
I highly recommend it to people love lavender!

The absolute best Lavender to use in soap! Strong, penetrating and lasting. Doesnt fade like some of the other lavender's. In my opinion it is the typical smelling lavender that most people associate with a lavender. I will never use another in my soaps and I also use it in all my other body care products. LOVE IT !! The price is right too!
