spritz over face and body as needed, use to promote calm in stressful situations.
We pick our lavender in Sussex, in August waiting patiently for the bees to move on before we cut each stem by hand. It's a patient, peaceful harvest. We only use English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mailette) to distil in our beautiful copper Alembic Still. The copper reacts with the lavender making the flower water sweeter smelling and free from the camphor note that often prevails. The scent is full, rich, sweet and subtly floral. The lavender we use does not offer the same amount of oil as many others but we believe that, in this case, less is so much more.
We always travel with Lavender water – it's such a cure all. It cools the skin, works as a refreshing aftersun, is great to add to water as a final hair rinse, reduces itchiness from bites, aids sleep in unfamiliar beds, scares monsters away from children's bedrooms and smells delightful.
