Lavender True Essential Oil

I'm no stranger to aromatherapy oils and have tried various ones over the years via either a candle burner or diffuser and there is a broad difference in quality, I am happy to say that this one is a surprisingly good quality oil. Ive seen a few comments about it being watered down, at this price point id be amazed if it wasn't, still I am very pleasantly surprised with the overall strength and quality, I really wasn't expecting much seeing as lavender is a rather expensive oil and this being so cheap. A little goes a long way and alongside 300ml about 5 or 6 drops in a diffuser on low setting and the house is full of that fresh relaxing purple lavender smell, 8 to 10 drops or more and the smell is very strong, lulling you into a blissful sense of peace and relaxation. Lavender is great for aromatherapy, particularly to help ease busy minds so if your after an oil that will help with relaxation and sleep I would recommend this one in particular. As for the brand, I have not heard of Naissance before, however I am impressed and will probably try some other scents in the future. I've yet to try it over candlelight but in lavender especially, the cheaper brands let of a horrible smokey smell that certainly brings about a lavender smell but isn't at all pleasant - its a scent hard to get right on a budget. Absolutely no complaints here though, in fact its the first sub £15 lavender oil I've found that I've enjoyed! The quantity is huge for £12 too (either oils have got much cheaper over the last few years or this is genuinely a bargain). I havnt tried other scents thus far so I cant say for certain on the brand, lavender is 5 star though and looking forward to trying some other scents in the future!

My staple buy, I cannot get enough of it.

I don't have enough expertise to give a definitive judgment, but I have been long searching for a product that gives off the same spicy astringent sweet/sharp scent as all the English lavender growing in my garden. All I can say is that it does it for me. And when I walk past the shaded corner on my dresser where I keep the tightly-stoppered bottle, I get a waft of it, which must come from the neck where it oozes out a little when the screw top is replaced. I quickly tire of any commercial perfumes, but I haven't tired of this. In view of the fact that I'm so happy with it, I think the price was reasonable, but scent is so individual, you'll have to buy it and sniff for yourself.

A few drops on my pillow and it puts me right to sleep. It irritates my skin a little but I’m sure it’s because I’m not using it on a diffuser. The scent itself is super strong. The purest lavender essential oil I’ve ever used. Only giving it 4 stars as the smell is terribly strong for my personal liking but it works as described and creates a relaxing atmosphere before bedtime.

A good quality oil

A beautiful pure and scented essential oil ideal for massage oil diluted with Naissance Sweet Almond oil

Naissance oils are always excellent quality - authentic aroma and cost effective in this quantity. I use lots of different oils in my cool mist diffuser and home-made room sprays, but lavender is simply the best, not just for me but for family and visitors. 100ml is just the right quantity, because I use a lot of it. Gorgeous and long lasting, and a few sprinkles on the pillow helps me get to sleep, especially in this scorching weather. A few drops in the bath is also very relaxing, and I even mix it with body lotion - lovely ! With regard to the fragrance, there are 450 different types of lavender, but I'm very fond of this one - 'Lavandula angustifolia', better known as 'English lavender' or 'True Lavender'. Edit: My husband thinks the 'Freshskin' brand has a fresher aroma, so it might be wise to buy 10ml bottles of whatever brand takes your fancy until find what you want.

I bought this a year ago and it smelt lovely so re-ordered when anlmost run out. This new batch has no scent at all, complete scam. It has also almost doubled in price since last year to £16.94, I paid £8.99 last year. Huge price fluctuations as today saying £11.99. I had to go through Amazon to get a return as the company could not help using the details provided for the customer by Amazon. A complete waste of time will not ever re-purchase this product.
