Think of that incredible aroma that fills the air of a day spa. A few calming breaths and you start feeling like everything is going to be okay and life is actually quite miraculous after all. That’s what Spike Lavender is. It’s a bottle of “you’re okay and everything is going to be just fine.”
Cultivated in France, (the fanciest farming location), Spike Lavender has camphor-like nuances similar to Eucalyptus and Rosemary underpinned by the tranquil beauty of florals. Spike Lavender inspires peace and calm and also works amazingly as an antibacterial and antiseptic.
Lavender is an evergreen plant that grows to about 3 feet and produces gorgeous lilac-colored flowers. To extract the oil, the flowers are put through a steam distillation process. Spike Lavender is special in a way that requires regular use. Try mixing it with Geranium or Rose to craft a fragrance entirely your own.
