[Carver Scent] Organic French Matheronne Lavender Essential Oil

Organic French Matheronne Lavender Essential Oil Origin Grown naturally at altitudes exceeding 800 meters in the highlands of Provence, France. Matheronne is a specific cultivar of true lavender, distinguished by its propagation method. Instead of seeds, it is reproduced asexually through cuttings. Each new plant is cultivated from a segment of a parent plant's branch. This technique ensures 100% preservation of the parent plant's genetic traits, including its aroma, color, growth characteristics, and active compound content. Consequently, Lavender Matheronne offers consistency and traceability in its aromatherapy benefits and essential oil quality, making it particularly suited for aromatherapy, therapeutic applications, or high-end cosmetic formulations. Appearance and Aroma A clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid, it releases a sweet, fresh aroma with soft floral and herbal notes. The scent is rounded, richly layered, with a subtle powdery finish that is more refined and elegant compared to lavender from other regions. Its fragrance is sweeter and has a lighter herbal character than Maillette. Botanical Characteristics A perennial shrub with narrow, elongated, grey-green leaves. It produces small, violet-blue flowers in summer and thrives in intense sunlight and dry, high-altitude climates. Extraction Part Flower tops during blooming period. Key Chemical Constituents Linalyl acetate, Linalool. The altitude and unique microclimate of the Matheronne growing region contribute to its essential oil's exceptionally high concentration of Linalyl acetate and Linalool. These compounds impart a particularly smooth and delicate aroma, which is more elegant, richly layered, and balanced in its volatility compared to lavender cultivated in lower altitudes. Historical Uses Lavender has been a traditional European aromatic plant since ancient times, widely used in incense, baths, for insect repellent, and in personal care products. The ancient Romans incorporated it into sachets for clothing and daily bathing rituals to create an atmosphere of cleanliness and fragrance.
