Lavandin

Lavandula x intermedia

Lavandin essential oil

Lavandin is a sterile hybrid of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia with a sharper, more camphoraceous character than true lavender, owing to significantly higher camphor and terpene content.[1] This chemical profile underpins its more stimulating, clearing biological activity — including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective effects — distinguishing it clearly from the gentler L. angustifolia.[2]
