Sourced from Mediterranean grasslands, the essential oil of Spanish Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) stands out for its camphoraceous and herbaceous aroma, combined with a rich composition of ketones and oxygenated monoterpenes.


Recognized for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, it provides a local and sustainable solution for pharmacy, cosmetics, and aromatherapy professionals.

A TRULY FRENCH ORIGIN

Grown in France, the plants from our producers are distilled either in the Drôme Provençale (fixed distillery unit), or directly in the harvest field (mobile distillery unit), then packaged in our warehouse in Isère.

Each batch is traced from the plot to the bottle, with analyses conducted by a French laboratory.

A LOCAL ALTERNATIVE

This locally grown plant can represent a relevant alternative to popular exotic essential oils.

Despite their natural origin, these can have a significant environmental impact (deforestation, pressure on biodiversity, carbon-intensive transport).

Here is an example:

Plant: Melaleuca alternifolia
Origin: Australia
Comparison:

The Lavender matheronne offers a softer camphoraceous note,
with antimicrobial efficacy similar to other varieties,
but a slightly lower antifungal spectrum.

Please note: Each essential oil has a unique identity, and the same plant can also vary depending on its origin. The equivalences proposed here do not aim to fully replace exotic plants, but to explore complementary alternatives based on your needs.

This comparison is part of an approach to promote Made in France and Made in Europe products, while encouraging responsible use of oils sourced from fragile ecosystems such as Tea Tree or Ylang-Ylang.
