Lavender from Kashmir

• Lavandula angustifolia: True lavender is one of the best-known aromatic plants of all. In various European, Middle Eastern and Asian traditions, it has been used for centuries in connection with evening rituals, periods of rest, baths, body care and aromatic massages. Its balanced aroma also makes the oil a classic in natural perfumery.
• Kashmir Lavender: The lavender used by Anima Mundi grows in the high-altitude valleys of the Himalayan foothills. The local climate shapes an oil with a soft, lush floral and simultaneously grassy-fresh aroma that feels lighter than many more intense lavender varieties.
• Naturally rich in linalool: Lavender Kashmir is distinguished by a naturally high content of linalool, one of lavender’s characteristic aromatic components. It contributes significantly to the oil’s soft, floral and gently fresh aroma profile, making Lavender Kashmir a versatile base for aromatic blends and natural perfumes.

Lavender and its natural plant compounds are the subject of an extensive body of traditional knowledge and modern research. Here, we limit ourselves to a concise overview. Those who would like to learn more will find numerous additional resources online.

Lavender Kashmir smells soft, floral and slightly sweet with green, grassy undertones. Compared with some classic lavender oils, this variety is less sharp and herbaceous, and somewhat airier and rounder.

The oil blends particularly beautifully with:

• Patchouli & pine: for greater earthy and woody depth
• Rosemary & clary sage: for an aromatic, herbaceous character
• Black pepper & clove: for warmth and spice
• Palmarosa: for a softer, more floral direction
• Juniper: for a clear, fresh-green accent

Uses

• Diffuser: Use a few drops according to the diffuser’s size and recommendations.
