Very nice scent, but whatever you do, DO NOT use an excessive amount...only a few drops will do. I made that mistake, and my sister claimed to have been coughing all night long. Also, nice to put in a scent diffuser (as with any essential oil).

Since ND carry so many versions of lavender eos, people don't seem to notice this organic version. I've tried to compare this to Lavender Population, Lavender 40/42, and French Lavender. In terms of floral quality, I think Lavender Population smells the most floral. But it seems to have more depth than the others. It's very nice.
