About the Plant:
Sweet Lavandin Essential Oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops of a hybrid of Lavender and Spike Lavender. True Lavender grows at high altitudes, while Spike Lavender prospers at lower altitudes on the sunny hills and slopes of Spain. When these two plants flower simultaneously and cross-pollinate, they create the hybrid Lavandula x intermedia. Sweet Lavandin produces more essential oil than that of its Lavender parents, making it more accessible and affordable even as it exhibits many overlapping therapeutic benefits.
Where it Grows:
Native to the mountainous regions of southern France, Sweet Lavandin takes more after True Lavender than its other parent, Spike Lavender. This means it is more likely to be found in cooler climates than its sibling, Lavandin Grosso.
Traditional Uses and Lore:
Lavandin is a hybrid plant produced in France that is very popular in soup, perfumes, and cosmetics.* Lavandin can be produced in big quantities and the scent lasts longer, making it a good choice for cosmetics.*
The Lavandin plant initially grew in the wild in the valleys of France. In the late 1920s, wild Lavandin was propagated by growers who noted that the crop yield was much greater relative to True Lavender. Following the Second World War, France saw a huge spike in demand for an economical alternative to Lavender that could be used for the fragrance of cheaper cleaning products such as soap and washing detergents.* Distillers and growers believed Lavandin to be the solution.*
In the 1970s, a farmer by the name of Pierre Grosso created the Lavandin cultivar 'Grosso' in Vaucluse, Provence. Today, Lavandin remains far more popular commercially compared to True Lavender, and Lavandin production is truly cost-effective due to its higher essential oil yield.*

Sweet Lavandin yields a higher output of essential oils than its parent plants True Lavender and Spike Lavender, making it much more affordable and accessible. That being said, Sweet Lavandin shares many of the same therapeutic benefits as True Lavender, including equal abilities to reduce anxiety, uplift the spirit, and deter sleep disturbances. One exception, however, is that Sweet Lavandin does not possess the same burn-healing capabilities as Lavender. Its aroma is slightly sharper than that of True Lavender, but not as much so as its other parent Spike Lavender, or even its sibling plant Lavandin Grosso. This is due to Sweet Lavandin’s unique balance natural chemical compounds.
