Lavandin Abrialis

Lavandula x intermedia 'Abrialis'

Lavandin Abrialis essential oil

Lavandula x intermedia 'Abrialis' is an older French hybrid cultivar whose essential oil is characterised by elevated camphor (11-16%), borneol (~10-12%), and 1,8-cineole (~9-16%) relative to true lavender, alongside moderate linalool (~19-26%) and linalyl acetate (~13%).[1] This camphor-rich profile — which varies with geographic provenance — confers documented antimicrobial activity, including inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus at a minimum inhibitory concentration of 6.25 µg/mL.[1]
