Lavender “Avice Hill” NZ ALPS P&N is an incredibly fine lavender angustifolia variety grown in New Zealand at the foothills of the rugged and wild Southern Alps (pictured), located in the South Island. The lavender plants are raised on glacial water which takes thirteen years to travel down the alpine slopes in the form of purified ice.
Because every second counts when working with cut lavender, our partner farm distills the oil-rich flowers in under one hour of harvesting. No other producer boasts this speed and the resulting oil is one of the best in the world.
In comparative testing against the finest lavenders from the fragrance industry, this oil comes first every time. When other lavenders dry to a dusty or earthy note, our Lavender “Avice Hill” maintains is superb floral character with a sweetness and intensity not found in any other variety. The near-mythical lavender Barreme is the oils that would have been the closest match to the sublime scent, longevity and elegance of this pure New Zealand essential oil. Tragically true lavender Barreme is now extinct due to French growers adopting genetically modified varieties to replace the old wild lavender fields due to higher yields of oil - an oil inferior in quality.
Lavender “Avice Hill” is astonishingly high in linalyl acetate content giving it a more elegant and refined floralcy than most. This is the mark of true quality in lavender. Our partner farm neither spikes nor blends across harvests to meet commercialised standards. With Lavender “Avice Hill”, What you get is what nature gives … and nothing more.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

Customer Reviews
This is the best lavender on the market. (Excluding lavender absolute) This even has the coumarin naunce that I believed only exists in the absolute, and is entirely lacking the camphorous qualities. Just amazing. Wow
Living in a lavender-growing region has given me a range of solid EOs to work with as well as shudders from the screechy lavender soap at every local market. But this oil is really something else. I've never experienced something with such a pure opening note and coumarin warmth underneath, it feels stunningly complex on the skin. I bought it to play with fougeres and it's going to be ideal. Just beautiful.
After experimenting with various lavender essential oils, I have found one that stands out as superior. I highly suggest trying it as it is refreshing, herbal, invigorating, and above all, pure. It has become my go-to choice for lavender essential oil.
My favorite lavender material to work with. Lightly sweet and not at all camphoric
A wonderful lavender. Far superior to large-scale commercial crops.
