Lavender Sevilla is not a cultivar of true lavender. It is Lavandula luisieri, an Iberian species of the stoechas group, and it contains compounds found in no other lavender: the necrodane derivatives, of which alpha-luisieryl acetate is the marker.
01 · Origin
A wild lavender of the Iberian Peninsula, growing on dry, acid soils. This oil is distilled in Portugal from the flowering plant, from certified organic material.
02 · Chemistry
Alpha-luisieryl acetate and alpha-luisierol lead, giving an odour unlike that of any other lavender. 1,8-cineole adds freshness. Lavandulyl acetate links it to the wider genus. Linalyl acetate, the dominant ester of Lavandula angustifolia, is not a principal constituent. Comparative work alongside Lavender, Stoechas (No. 1920) places it within its section.
03 · In Practice
Herbaceous, sweet and slightly fruity, with a camphoraceous lift and a dry, hay-like finish. A middle note. Diffusion, massage blends and natural perfumery, where it adds an unfamiliar lavender facet. Blends with rosemary, cistus, bergamot, clary sage, cypress, pine and labdanum.
