Botanical source

Lavandin is a natural and artificial hybrid of Lavandula angustifolia (true lavender) and Lavandula latifolia (spike lavender).

Three principal cultivars: Abrialis, Grosso, Super. Each has its own chemistry and use case.

Grown and distilled mainly in Provence, France. Oil yield is much higher than true lavender.


Quality

Lavandin Abrialis has the highest 1,8-cineole content. Used in cleaning products and industrial applications.

Lavandin Grosso has the highest oil yield. Common in inexpensive perfumery and soap.

Lavandin Super has the highest linalyl acetate content, closest to true lavender in aroma. Used in fine fragrance.


Notes

Often used as adulterant for true lavender due to lower price and similar aroma.

Distinguished by GC-MS, camphor is high in lavandin (4-12%) compared to true lavender (under 1%).
