Review (5/5): light, floral lavender
Lavender is my #1 go-to essential oil. I think I use it in 90% of my blends, whether in the diffuser or in topical blends (or sprays, etc). The only thing I definitely don’t use it for is my home-made cleaning products where citrus oils are the only essential oils.
This particular oil is a very delicate scent – some lavender oils can pack quite a punch in terms of the scent. This is certainly floral and has a ‘high note’ to it. You can easily pick it out of a blend. It’s my first oil from New York Biology and I’m very pleased.
I love blending lavender in particular with chamomile, as it has an almost instantaneous calming effect. Also love to blend it with bergamot, ylang ylang, mandarin, and a drop of lime.
The bottle is very large, a dark brown color to protect the oil from UV rays which can damage the oils and decrease the shelf life. My favorite way to dispense oils is with the eye dropper (the euro droppers found in smaller bottles tend to gush several drops at once, so that’s definitely not my preference) – you can really control how many drops you dispense with these eye droppers.
Arrived well protected in bubble wrap and there was no leaks.
