Lavender is the essential oil most people reach for first, and the one experienced users never stop reaching for — floral, fresh, and softly herbal, with a roundness that makes it welcome in almost any room and any blend.
It is sold in three sizes here — 15ml, 30ml and 60ml — steam-distilled from Lavandula angustifolia, so you can start with a small bottle to test the scent or go straight to the size that matches how often you expect to use it.
Most of it goes into a diffuser for winding down in the evening, or diluted into a carrier oil for massage and everyday skin use; a smaller amount goes into a pillow spray or a warm bath soak.
Aromatherapy research has associated lavender with easier sleep onset and a calmer mood, though individual results vary and it is not a substitute for medical care where sleep or anxiety are an ongoing concern.
