Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil

Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil

Botanical Name: Lavandula Hybrida
Plant Part: Flowers
Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
Origin: France

Description: Lavandin Grosso is an aromatic evergreen shrub that is much larger than true Lavender. The flowering heads are more compressed with a dull, gray blue color.

Colour: Pale yellow liquid

Common Uses: Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil is used almost exclusively for scent. Many commercial manufacturers use both Lavandin Grosso and Lavandin Super as replacements for Lavender 40/42. However, it should be noted that Lavandin Grosso 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 Grosso Essential Oil blends well with most oils but has a tendency to overpower with heavy camphor overtones.

Aromatic Scent: Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil 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 Grosso Essential Oil should be avoided during pregnancy and by those with epilepsy.
