A certified organic lavender essential oil from Greece, valued for its beautifully balanced aroma, skin-soothing properties, and deeply calming effect on the body and mind.
The Story
Lavender has been woven into Mediterranean life for over 2,500 years, valued not only for its scent but for its ability to restore balance and ease. First documented by the Greek physician Dioscorides in De Materia Medica, lavender was traditionally used to comfort the nervous system, soothe the skin, and support recovery after physical or emotional strain.
This Greek organic lavender essential oil stands out for its exceptional aromatic harmony, with naturally low camphor and cineole levels. The result is a scent that is soft, floral, slightly sweet, and remarkably clean, without sharp or medicinal undertones.
Carefully distilled and batch-tracked, it reflects both scientific precision and deep botanical knowledge, offering a versatile essential oil suitable for daily use, skin care formulations, and moments of intentional rest.
Historical notes:
As a herb, lavender has been in a documented use for over 2,500 years. It is believed that after being first domesticated by Arabs it spread to Greece and then, around 600 BC, to Europe. It is thought that it may have come from Greek Hyeres Islands into France and later to Spain, Italy and England.
Around 50 - 70 AD, Greek military physician Pedanius Dioscorides penned what appears to be the first written record of the medicinal uses of lavender. He collected medicinal plants from around the Mediterranean and described them and their medicinal uses in a 5-volume work entitled ‘De Materia Medica’. Lavender, he noted, when taken internally relieved indigestion, headaches and sore throats and externally, could be used to clean wounds and burns or treat skin ailments.
Pliny the Elder (23 – 79AD), a Greek writer and encyclopaedist, noted the benefits of herbal preparations with lavender including helping those with menstrual problems, upset stomachs, kidney disorders, jaundice and treating insect bites.

The Ritual
The Ritual
Inhalation / Vapourisation:
- We really enjoy this gorgeous lavender as an evening 'wind me down' aroma, on its own, close to and at bed time. Try to vapourise a couple of drops in your bedroom.
- Vapourise for anxiety and stress or to repel insects, too!
Skin applications:
Please note, some Aromatherapists say that Lavender can be used undiluted. But it's safer that you dilute it first.
-Sunburn- we have noticed it calms down the redness and soothes when added to an Aloe Vera gel or a light unscented body lotion
- It can also prove useful against eczema - try adding to an unscented body lotion or cream and test on a small area first
-For tension and hypertension (high blood pressure) - dilute in a fixed oil (carrier oil) and put in a small roll-on bottle. Spread onto your wrists, behind your ears or temples
- For menstrual pain, to improve digestion or relieve muscular pain - dilute in a fixed oil (carrier oil) and massage the lower abdomen or specific muscle areas.
-For use throughout the day, place 1–2 drops onto a cotton-filled inhalation vial and breathe slowly, allowing the aroma to settle the nervous system and gently reset your senses wherever you are.
