Lavender vs Lavandin: What’s the Difference? | Provençal Scent Tour
Take a deep dive into the world of lavender, lavandin, and other Provençal aromatics in this on-location video from Provence! I'm sitting down with Amber from SCA3P, a cooperative that works with over 200 farmers to produce 100% natural essential oils used in perfumery, aromatherapy, cosmetics, and more.
In this video, we:
- Compare lavender, lavandin, and spike lavender
- Smell real raw ingredients like clary sage, coriander, hyssop, and immortelle
- Learn how these ingredients are used in perfumes
- Connect everything to Provence, a fragrance from Nissaba by perfumer Sebastian Cresp
If you're a fragrance lover, essential oil geek, or just curious about where perfume ingredients come from, this is a must-watch!
