French lavender absolute is derived from the flowers of the Lavandula angustifolia plant, primarily cultivated in the Provence region of France. This essential oil is extracted via solvent extraction, which results in a highly concentrated and robust form of lavender oil. French lavender absolute is distinguished by its rich, floral, and herbaceous scent profile with deeper, more intense earthy undertones than its essential oil counterpart. Its aroma is soothing and calming, often described as being more rounded and smooth, with a touch of sweetness that sets it apart from other lavender varieties. This makes it a sought-after ingredient in high-end perfumery and aromatherapy for its depth and lasting fragrance. Its scent is not only calming but also helps to enhance relaxation and promote sleep.
