Lavender “Avice Hill”

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, located in the South Island.  The lavender plants (raised on glacial water which takes thirteen years to travel down the alpine slopes in the form of purified ice) are heritage bred, meaning they are not genetically modified to be grown from cloning but rather by natural germination.

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 the best in the world.

In comparitive 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” maintaints is superb floral character with a sweetness and intensity not found in any other variety. Even the near-mythical lavender Barreme fails to match the sublime scent, longevity and elegance of this pure New Zealand essential oil.

Lavender “Avice Hill” is astonishingly low in linalool content giving it a more elegant and refined floralcy than most. Our partner farm neither spikes nor blends across harvests to meet commercialised standards that ignore the beauty of pure materials. With Lavender “Avice Hill”, What you get is what nature gives … and nothing more.

Once you try this oil you will never use another.
