Adam Michael has this to say “We are now proud to English lavender essential oil. Our supplier is producing her lavender with electronically controlled apparatus meaning more control over all parameters of distillation, such as pressure, plant material temperature, condenser temperature, steam flow etc. With more control over the distillation parameters she is able to produce lavender under lower pressure, lower temperature and that locks in more of the natural molecules that are usually lost in regular steam distillation.
This is very special English lavender essential oil that is intensely fresh floral, buttery-herbaceous and beautiful spring morning clean. The tenacity is actually comparable to our French lavender absolute.”
Joseph Colbourne has this to say “A bright, clear, meringue-like pleasure tickles my nose upon inhaling this oil distilled in Yorkshire, England. The top notes green, floral, intense, slightly soapy, bringing to mind rain showers in April, clean white linen, and the first songbirds of the season. The herbal dry down evokes the hay-like scent of lavender sprigs, all gossamer and green, their aroma imbuing the palms of my hands. This has comparable tenacity to Lavender a.o.c. EO, remaining on the mouillette for eight hours. I imagine this in the opening of a classic barber-shop scent, a gentleman’s cologne, or a cosy new mown hay base”
Arctander has this to say “English Lavender Oil is distilled from a different variety of the lavender plant. It yields an oil rich in linalool, but rather poor in linalylesters. However, it is not rough or harsh like the aspic or lavandin oils, but represents an individual type of lavender which is obviously appreciated in the country where it is a common garden plant, and where its fragrance is well-known and very popular. ”

I know. So many lavender materials here and everywhere. Which does one choose? I myself prefer the amber qualities of the French absolute, which people around me seem to not quite register as lavender since it is sweeter and wetter than people generally know lavender to be. I also LOVE the Italian absolute, which is a totally different beast and reads more like a rum material to me (Wood Apple, I’m looking at you!). If you want a lavender essential oil on the dry end of the spectrum, this is the one to get.
