Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Lavandin Grosso Essential Oil is a bold, fresh, and camphoraceous essence distilled from the hybrid lavender plant ( Lavandula angustifolia × Lavandula latifolia ). This variety, known as “Grosso” , is the most widely cultivated lavandin due to its high oil yield and powerful aroma. Its fragrance is herbaceous, slightly sharp, and invigorating , with distinct camphor notes that set it apart from true lavender ( Lavandula angustifolia ).
Used extensively in aromatherapy, perfumery, and natural cleaning products , Lavandin Grosso is prized for its energizing qualities and affordability , while still carrying the floral sweetness of lavender.
At Herbsmetics, Lavandin Grosso is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests experience the contrast between true lavender's softness and lavandin's strength and clarity .
