Description:
Russian Lavender Oil is some of the finest in the world. Russia is a minor producer of Lavender Oil for the world market compared to France and Bulgaria, but its oil is of extremely high quality. European companies are known to buy large amounts of Russian Lavender oil to fill demand when French Lavender stocks are low. Russian Lavender Oil is of excellent quality and highly sought after by many of the largest perfume & cosmetics companies in Europe. Most of its production of high-grade Russian Lavender Oil gets bought by these companies and doesn’t make it to the marketplace here in Australia. Our premium Russian Lavender Oil rivals and exceeds some of the best French Lavender Oils in its aroma profile, complexity and sweet herbaceous floral notes. NakedPress is proud to offer you this beautiful and exclusive Lavender Oil Russia product.

Lavender was commonly used in Roman Baths to scent the water, and it was thought to restore the skin. Its Latin name was lavandārius, from lavanda (things to be washed), from the verb lavāre (to wash) when the Roman Empire conquered southern Britain, the Romans introduced lavender.
