The magic of lavender

In Greek mythology, lavender is said to have grown from the ashes of the plant Hecate, to soothe the living and honor the dead. In ancient times, it was burned to ward off the evil eye, calm fevers, or charm lovers.

Fans of Marcel Pagnol will remember Manon hidden in the hills, golden skin, wild soul - adorned only by a breath of lavender and warm wind.

Native to the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean basin, true lavender (lavandula angustifolia) thrives between 800 and 1800 meters above sea level. Lavandin, born from the cross of lavandula vera and lavandula spica, generally has more abundant flowers.

When it blooms, the bees 🐝 can't resist. They flock there. They get lost and get drunk.

In aromatherapy, natural lavender essence reigns supreme: soothing, purifying, cleansing, and balancing. Fresh, herbaceous, sometimes almost camphor-like.
