The Plant

There are three kinds of authentic lavender. Lavender aspic is one of them, even though it is sometimes considered a substitute for true lavender. It is, nonetheless, a different plant altogether, readily qualified as ""male."" Little cultivated, since it is less interesting to perfumiers, it grows freely on the arid hillsides of Provence. Aromatherapy is where lavender aspic makes its own mark.

Caution

Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep away from children.
