I normally buy Bulgarian Lavender but purchased a bottle of Fine French Lavender during a promotion. The Fine French Lavender has been excellent this year. It is slightly stronger than in the past but still a has light, soft, wonderful lavender scent. More of my male customers are liking this lavender.

I bought 40/42 lavender in the past and it was nice almost like this one but a bit more bite to it, this is more floral and more like the lavender i know and love. 40/42 lavender is about the same price as this one at another soap supply place i order from so i am going to stick to this french lavender from now on!

I tried all the lavenders in my Aura Cacia Essential Oil Diffuser (organic, Bulgaria, mailette, Spain) - all too earthy/mossy.... "fine french/popular" is lightly floral and the only scent my husband does not criticize

I've tried several EO companies, most of which are several times more expensive that Camden Grey (you know, the ones with member programs--wink wink). Yes, their oil properties are pure and smell incredible, but I've found Camden Grey's "French Lavender" to match all top shelf competitors.
This version of lavender EO is the most comparable to taking a whiff of the plant itself. This is my favorite lavender oil on this green earth and I use it in everything, from lotions, soaps, bath salts and blends. It is a must have, in any EO arsenal!

I have tried countless lavender oils from various sources, and it seems that different people favor different types of lavender. This one is for me, hands down, the preferred lavender for therapeutic value as well as a pleasing, non-camphorous scent. I would choose this over any other lavender for therapeutic oil blends as well as diffusing if you are intending to bring a soothing atmosphere to any room.

I've tried a few differerent lavenders for my soaps and salts and so far I like this variety the best. It has a light, flowery essence and is not as camphorous as some of the other varieties. The lovely floral essence makes it through the cold process soap process beautifully. It blends well with everything and is never too dominant.
I have used this oil in bath salts and they turned out heavenly. Also, I put a drop on a mosquito bite that was itching terribly and it stopped itching immediately and never came back!
Excellent product!

Lavender can be used for so many things. The quality of camden grey oils are great, so are the prices. I got this oil to use on my daughter after a surgery, it has amazing properties.
Lane Gilreath (Flowery Branch, GA, US) | May 3rd, 2014
I'm very proud to have this lavender in my aromatherapy inventory. It's got an herbaceous, yet mellow tone and is perfect for blending with other essential oils for aromatherapy. It's definitely my "Swiss Army Knife" essential oil!
Josefa Wilson (Baton Rouge, LA, US) | December 30th, 2013
I absolutely love this oil and use it for so many things. It has a sweeter and stronger smell then the 40/42. I use a drop directly on the skin for perfume. Mix a few drops with aloe gel and use as a deodorant. Mix with some grape-seed oil and rub into my temples when I can't sleep. Add a few drops in grape-seed oil with a few drops of peppermint to make my migraines go away. And the scent never gets old. Since it's too precious to use in soap (I use the 40/42 in that), a 1/2 ounce bottle lasts me at least a year.

This is the perfect Lavender for a Boo Boo balm I make. I made some for a coworker who requested something else for his eczema. And because of him using this balm in his office, I’ve had multiple orders because folks love the smell coming out of his office. They’ve said it’s like a spa. Both men and women, adore this lavender. And now I’m out and need more. If you have someone who is looking for the real deal for therapeutic uses, look no further.

Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer.
