WILD MOUNTAIN LAVENDER - Divinely Textured artisan oil from the Southern French Alps

This 100% pure wild Lavandula angustifolia, artisan slow-distilled, essential oil is operates at a higher resolution, expanding what lavender can be with a wider olfactive palette : the opening showcases quite some mountain robustness (wood, spice & green facets), then the creamy layers emerge progressively, and finally a delicious hint of caramel that reveals in the unfolding of time when the oil is worn.

This oil is not a cushioned cultivar that has been bioengineered to be sweetened or "rounded": it is a terroir variety from the southern alps naturally adapted to its mountainous environment, it is complex, both delicate and vivid; its potency is not flashy, rather in the deeper spectrum.

Natural wild mountain lavender hand collected, artisan slow distilled, like in the old days. Altitude circa 1200-1400m (wild lavender likes altitude)

The climate of the Aups d'Auta Provença, as called in Occitan, is an interesting blend of Mediterranean and alpine : dry air, little fog, infrequent rainfall, high sunshine hours in all seasons, high thermal amplitudes, fresh bright winters and very hot summers barely tempered by altitude. Lavender loves such conditions and this oil inherits part of its character from it: part sweetness from the Sun, part protective robustness. 

Haute-Provence is a remarkably wild gorgeous region, and one can witness there some of the best starry skies in Western Europe, untouched by light pollution.
