Smells of: herbaceous, camphoraceous
Role: top note, freshener

Spike Lavender Oil opens with a bright, herbaceous aroma that is distinctly sharper and more camphoraceous than its sweeter counterparts like Lavandin or True Lavender. The scent has a refreshing quality, reminiscent of a sunlit garden, with a slightly medicinal edge that adds complexity. As it develops, the sharpness softens into a more rounded, floral character, revealing subtle earthy undertones that ground the fragrance. In a formula, it acts as a versatile top note that can enhance freshness and provide a calming effect, making it ideal for both masculine and unisex compositions. It pairs well with citrus notes for a vibrant opening or with woody and aromatic elements to create a balanced, soothing blend. The typical usage in this catalogue is around 0.285%, with a range from 0.195% to 0.83%.
