The Oil Staples
Lavender oil is an central oil found by distillate from the blossom spikes
of distinct species of lavender. Two forms are fundamental, lavender flower oil, a colourless oil,
insoluble in water, having a denseness of 0.885 g/mL; and lavender spike oil, a distillate from the herbaceous plant
Lavandula latifolia, having concentration 0.905 g/mL.

The Spike Oil has a somewhat firmer scent, with a top peppery note which is lacking from the Lavender Flower Oil and bestows itself more to the stimulant forces of the oil.
