The Fragrance of Lavender

The scent of lavender: history, benefits and aromatic magic

A timeless essence that enchants and relaxes

The refreshing and inebriating scent of lavender has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. All over the world, this plant with its blue-violet flowers is appreciated not only for its elegant aroma, but also for its many beneficial properties.
Already used in antiquity to perfume rooms, textiles and the body, lavender has now also become an essential ingredient in luxury perfumery and in personal and home care products.

Origins and meaning of the name “lavender”

The word lavender derives from the Latin lavare, precisely because in ancient Rome people used to bathe in warm baths scented with lavender essences, thus associating this plant with the concept of cleansing, relaxation and regeneration.
Its use in perfuming laundry and bath water has been documented since ancient times. But what still makes lavender so popular today is its unmistakable fresh, clean and soothing scent.

What makes the scent of lavender so special?

The secret of lavender's unique aroma lies in two natural compounds contained in its flowers: linalyl acetate and linalool.

Linalyl acetate is responsible for the characteristic delicate, floral scent that gives lavender its sensory appeal.
Linalool, on the other hand, is a substance that, according to various studies, has calming and balancing effects on the nervous system. It is also found in other essential oils such as those of lemon balm and thyme. When inhaled, linalool stimulates the olfactory sensors and can promote relaxation and reduce feelings of stress.
