About Lavandin Grosso
Lavandin Grosso is a widely cultivated hybrid of true lavender and spike lavender. Its vigorous growth and high essential-oil yield have made it an important aromatic crop for fine fragrance, soap, and many familiar scented products.
Scent Profile
Compared with the soft floral sweetness of true lavender, Grosso has a **bolder herbal freshness**. It combines green stems, dry aromatic air, and a cool camphor-like edge. The result feels clean and expansive, but also more rustic and forceful than a delicate lavender flower.
Use in Perfumery
Lavandin Grosso appears in aromatic, fougere, citrus, woody, and musk compositions, often carrying freshness from the opening into the heart. Ginger and citrus make its bright side more vivid, while musk and sandalwood soften its sharper herbal outline. Used carefully, it gives a creamy or sweet base enough air to remain clear.
Did You Know?
Lavandin plants grow larger than true lavender and produce the even purple fields often associated with southern France. Their scent links the comfort of clean household products with the rougher green character of the plant itself.
