Lavender Wild, also known as Lavender vera (True Lavender), is a rare and exceptional essential oil that boasts a delightful and sparkling fresh sweet aroma. Its rich herbaceous and floral notes make it an exquisite oil that can elevate any fragrance blend. The plant grows wild in the mountains of France at elevations above 1200m, where it benefits from the perfect growing conditions, including the cool and dry climate, the chalky soil, and the ample sunshine.
Lavender vera is considered the original type of lavender, as it has been growing in the wild without human intervention for thousands of years. However, Lavender Wild is a rare and special essential oil, as it is produced in small batches by only a handful of artisan distillers. These distillers climb mountainsides to harvest the plants by hand and transport them in sheets tied to their backs. The process is laborious, but it ensures that the plant's integrity is maintained, and the oil's quality is exceptional.
Lavender Wild is the perfect oil for bath and body, massage, skincare, aroma-therapeutic, or natural perfume purposes. Its relaxing scent can help combat anxiety, making it a popular choice for aromatherapy. If you prefer Lavender with a perky camphor zing, you can try our Lavender Spike essential oil, which is also excellent. For a deep, rich, floral lavender with a bold side, our Bulgarian High Altitude Lavender is a great option. No matter your preferences, our range of Lavender oils is sure to delight your senses and elevate your mood.
