Lavender is one of the oldest perfume ingredients out there. In fact, the earliest known use of lavender can be traced all the way back to Ancient Egypt, where it is speculated that the plant was used to make perfume and as part of the embalming process. The ancient Romans were wild for lavender, believing it to be a purifying plant, and the name even comes from the Latin verb lavare, or to wash.

It’s great as a star of a scent, but it also plays well with others as a supporting note.
