Lavender Essential Oil – Calming, Relaxing & Beautifully Floral
Soft, floral and gently herbaceous, with delicate woody undertones, lavender essential oil is one of the most loved and recognisable fragrances in aromatherapy.
Extracted from the flowering tops of the lavender plant, this beautifully fragrant essential oil has been treasured for centuries for its soothing aroma and traditional association with relaxation and wellbeing.
Its gentle, comforting fragrance makes lavender a wonderful choice for creating a peaceful atmosphere, whether you're unwinding after a busy day or enjoying a quiet moment to yourself.

Why We Love Lavender at Naturally Essential
Lavender is one of our favourite essential oils because of its versatility and beautifully comforting fragrance.
Its soft floral character blends wonderfully with other essential oils, creating fragrances that feel both balanced and inviting.
We particularly love combining lavender with:
-
Geranium & Jasmine: A beautifully soft, floral blend with delicate rosy notes and a luxurious jasmine finish.
-
Rosemary & Grapefruit: A fresh, uplifting combination of herbal lavender, aromatic rosemary and bright citrus notes.
-
Eucalyptus: A wonderfully refreshing blend combining lavender's gentle floral character with the crisp, clean aroma of eucalyptus.
Each combination brings out a different side of lavender's beautiful fragrance.
