At the base of many perfumes, the essential oil of true lavender has a delicate scent. Naturally present in the north of the Mediterranean basin, true or officinal lavender has also been cultivated for several years in Bulgaria, Ukraine and even Australia. In France, the four producing departments of the Midi alone represent some 20,000 cultivated hectares.
