Lavandin Fragrances

Lavandin is a hybrid lavender — a natural cross between true English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia) known botanically as Lavandula x intermedia. Unlike its more delicate parent, lavandin produces significantly more essential oil — up to ten times the yield of English lavender — making it the dominant lavender variety in commercial perfumery worldwide. It grows abundantly across the sun-baked plateaus of Provence, where its purple fields are among the most photographed landscapes in France.

In fragrance, lavandin is fresher, sharper, and more robust than classic lavender. Its defining characteristic is a pronounced camphor undertone that gives it a medicinal, almost eucalyptus-like edge alongside the familiar floral-herbal lavender core. This slightly bolder, more angular character makes lavandin particularly well-suited to masculine fougere fragrances and fresh aromatic compositions, where it adds structure and herbal vibrancy without tipping into sweetness.

Fragrances built around lavandin often feel crisp, clean, and invigorating — evoking the open air of the Provencal countryside.
