Product Overview

Lavender Spike Essential Oil—widely known across fine perfumery and aromatherapy as Spike Lavender or French Aspic (Lavandula latifolia)—is a brisk, penetrating, camphoraceous-herbaceous and fresh floral-eucalyptus essential oil steam-distilled from the flowering tops of wild or cultivated low-altitude Mediterranean spike lavender. Distinct from Lavandula angustifolia by its naturally high levels of 1,8-cineole (22%–36%) and camphor (10%–20%) alongside linalool (30%–48%), it delivers an energizing, clean, rosemary-eucalyptus and lavender-blossom bouquet with crisp green-herbal top notes and dry woody-camphoraceous undertones. Indispensable in masculine fougère perfumery, artisanal soaps, invigorating hair/muscle care, and respiratory aromatherapy, it provides powerful diffusion and refreshing aromatic lift.
