High-end Bulgarian lavender oil bears a fragrance that is sweet and herbaceous, and has woody and floral hints. It can be either colorless or somewhat yellow-green to yellow. Lavender oil from Bulgaria possesses more than 150 active components, including copious amounts of ester aromatic molecules that have calming, antispasmodic, and stimulating benefits. Camphor, linalool, linalyl acetate, and terpinen-4-ol are the principal botanical components of lavender oil while other constituents are lavandulyl acetate, geraniol, cis-ocimene, geraniol, and 1,8-cineole which are responsible for its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. When in full blossom and possessing the maximum ester amounts, lavender flowers are picked and put through steam distillation to obtain the essential oil. Approximately 150 pounds of lavender are needed for the production of one pound of pure, high-quality lavender oil. By soaking the plants flower spikes in another essential oil, you can make a cold infusion.
