High Alpine Lavender Essential Oil 50ml – Lavandula Angustifolia | Steam Distilled France

Discover the rare, exquisite refinement of pure High Alpine Lavender Essential Oil, steam distilled from the flowering tips of Lavandula Angustifolia grown at altitude in the mountains of France. Soft, clean and breathtakingly delicate — with an extraordinary floral purity, a cool, fresh sweetness and a smooth, honeyed depth of remarkable complexity — High Alpine Lavender is widely regarded as the most refined, most nuanced and most aromatically distinguished expression of Lavender Essential Oil in the world.

What sets High Alpine Lavender apart from all other Lavender oils is the altitude at which it is grown. Cultivated at elevations of 1,000 metres and above in the high mountain regions of Provence and the French Alps — where the air is cooler, the growing season shorter, the soils thinner and the UV intensity greater — the Lavandula Angustifolia plant produces flowers of extraordinary aromatic concentration and complexity. The stress of the high alpine environment slows the plant’s growth and concentrates its aromatic compounds, resulting in an oil with a higher ester content — particularly linalyl acetate — than lowland Lavender, giving it a distinctively smoother, sweeter, more floral and more complex aromatic profile that is immediately perceptible to the trained nose.

France is the spiritual and historical home of fine Lavender — the sun-drenched purple fields of Provence are among the most iconic and celebrated agricultural landscapes in the world, and French Lavender has been the benchmark of quality in aromatherapy and natural perfumery for centuries. The great perfume houses of Grasse — the perfume capital of the world, nestled in the hills above the French Riviera — have relied on the finest French Lavender as a cornerstone ingredient in their most celebrated creations for over three hundred years. High Alpine Lavender, harvested from the most elevated and remote growing sites, represents the very pinnacle of this extraordinary tradition.

Steam distilled from the flowering tips — the most aromatically concentrated part of the plant, harvested at the peak of bloom in the brief high alpine summer — this is a truly exceptional and rare essential oil, a genuine luxury for the most discerning aromatherapy and natural perfumery collections. This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, therapists and those who incorporate High Alpine Lavender regularly into their practice or product making.
