Absolutes which are solvent extracted rather than being steam distilled are stronger and more concentrated than Pure Essential Oils. Being an absolute It is also a lot harder to find and more expensive than the pure essential oil.

Lavender is farmed in many Countries but France is still considered to be producing the World’s most remarkable Lavender due mainly to the ideal growing conditions and climate. It is for this reason that it is perfectly suited for Natural Perfumes, Aromatherapy and cosmetic preparations.
