Our favorite perfume, lavender fragrances

Someone might say that perfumes with the scent of lavender are the perfumes of the past, our great-great-grandmothers. Part of the truth is that this fragrant plant has really been used for a very long time. In the sixteenth century arab women considered it one of the most effective remedies for eliminating unpleasant body odors. Lavender was used in a mixture with salt in the form of pillows or in the form of aromatic water. The Moscow tsars were also very fond of lavender. For a long time, lavender has also been loved in England. This plant with small fragrant flowers is a very frequent guest in English perfumery. One of the best fragrances for charming ladies was lavender - clean, fresh and soothing.

And in 1920, when the French chemist-perfumer Rene-Marie Hattefoss, while working in the laboratory, received a severe burn of his hand, they learned about the healing properties of this fragrant plant. Surprised by the intense pain, Gattefoss quickly dipped his hand into a container of lavender oil. And the pain began to subside almost instantly. And not only. Applying dressings soaked in lavender oil to the burned part of the hand, the chemist noticed that the wound healed quickly, the skin was restored. As a result, not a trace of a burn remained on the hand. Since Rene-Marie Hattefoss was not only a perfumer, but also a chemist, he investigated lavender oil and determined that it has many healing properties, especially its antiseptic properties.

Lavender - the name comes from the Latin word lavare - to wash, wash. Yes, lavender really cleanses the skin, relieves irritation, moisturizes. Therefore, the essential oil of this plant is used not only in perfumery, but also in cosmetics. And besides this, lavender is also used in aromatherapy... Breathing in the fragrant air is a pleasure. Many Japanese firms recommend that their employees use lavender oil to enhance their body's resistance to fatigue. It is noticed that it increases mental activity, creates a favorable psychological climate, relieves nervous excitement, and increases productivity.
