The humble lavender, I thought I had smelled them all.

I knew there were marked differences depending on the variety of lavender one is smelling. For example when exploring other lavenders I learned that both the Spanish Lavender Seville (Lavandula luisieri) and the Bulgarian Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) share similar nuances to each another but the Bulgarian Lavender has an interesting almond note on the dry out.

Today I met three lavender angels, Lavender Blue, Lavender White and Lavender Violet from Samara Botane in the U.S.

My favorite is the blue (Lavandula spica var provence), the white is lovely, very fresh, like a shining arch angel. The violet is softer and shy, like a cherub. But the blue lavender concrete is like the most beautiful angel in the whole of heaven, it reminded me of delicate violets and crystal purity. I swear the stuff is holy!

The cost is very modest at only 22.00 dollars US for 15gm.
