What is the difference between Bulgarian lavender, French lavender, and lavendin?

• Bulgarian lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) is typically about 46% linalyl acetate and 26% linalool.  Its aroma is more robust and preferred in perfumery.
• French lavender (L. angustifolia) has a higher linalyl acetate content but contains less linalool than the Bulgarian type.
• Lavendin (L. x intermedia) is a hybrid of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia and contain as much as 12% camphor.

History:  The founder of Aromatherapy, René-Maurice Gattefossé,
started modern research of essential oils when he experienced the
benefits of lavender essential oil after applying it to a burn on his
hand. The herb's name comes from the Latin word "lavare" which means to
wash.  Lavender has a long tradition as a beauty and well-being aid in
Europe.  Much modern research has demonstrated the aroma's calming
effects.

Specific Safety Information:  Not for
internal use.  Dilute essential oils with topical use.  Certain
