Lavandin (Lavandula intermedia) essential oil is a hybrid of lavender and spike lavender with a more potent, sweet lavender aroma. Commonly combined with lavender, it is especially loved for massage blends, bath blends, chest balms, cleaning products and diffusions. Compared to its relaxing counterpart lavender, lavandin is more uplifting and awakening. Aura Cacia Lavandin Essential Oil comes from the south of France. The tall, productive perennial plants are harvested once a year in early July.
