    The Story of Pink lavender

    Pink lavender captures the softer side of lavender—less camphor, more petals. This gentler expression reveals the herb's sweet, almost rosy floral heart, bridging the gap between aromatic and floral fragrance families.

    Heritage

    Lavender has threaded through perfumery since at least the seventeenth century when French artisans in Grasse began incorporating it into eaux de Cologne and scented waters. The Romans first introduced lavender to bathing rituals, perfuming bathwater and using the herb as a remedy for wounds. By the eighteenth century, lavender held a central position in Europe's perfumery trade, appearing as both a standalone note and a key component of compound fragrances. Its journey from medicinal herb to aromatic luxury paralleled the rise of modern perfumery, eventually earning a place in fougère家族的 founding accords. Pink lavender represents a contemporary refinement of this ancient ingredient—a softening that speaks to modern preferences for gentler, more nuanced aromatic experiences.

    Production

    How Pink lavender Is Made

    Pink lavender shares the same botanical foundation as classic lavender but emphasizes specific cultivars known for sweeter, less camphoraceous profiles. Steam distillation of freshly harvested Lavender angustifolia flowers extracts the essential oil, preserving delicate floral compounds while minimizing the sharper, medicinal notes. The result is a softer aromatic material that retains lavender's signature green, herbaceous character while opening with a gentler, more rounded floral sweetness. Perfumers often select for lower camphor content to achieve this pink expression, whether from specific high-altitude French varieties or carefully curated hybrid populations.
