Question 1

What is the difference between alpine and English lavender essential oil?

Accepted Answer

Both are Lavandula angustifolia but grown in different climates. The alpine variety has a higher linalool content, is more characterful and complex — due to temperature swings and more intense solar radiation. The English variety is softer, more sweetly floral, with minimal camphor character.

Question 2

How should I use essential oil safely?

Accepted Answer

Never apply essential oil undiluted to skin. Always dilute to at least 2% in a vegetable carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba) — approximately 4-6 drops per 10 ml carrier oil. For sensitive skin, perform a patch test first.

Question 3

Why is alpine lavender essential oil generally more expensive?

Accepted Answer

High-altitude cultivation is more difficult (mechanisation is limited, yields are lower) and harvests can vary from season to season. The premium aroma profile combined with limited availability justifies a higher price compared to lower-altitude, mass-produced lavender oils.

Question 4

Which diffuser is it compatible with?

Accepted Answer

Compatible with both ultrasonic (humidifying) diffusers and traditional oil burners (aroma lamps). Add 3-6 drops to the diffuser water reservoir, or 3-5 drops to the oil burner bowl with a little water.

Question 5

Can alpine lavender be blended with English lavender?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the two oils blend excellently. The softer, sweeter character of English lavender combined with the deeper, more characterful profile of alpine lavender can create a fuller, more complex lavender accord in a diffuser or perfume blend.

Question 6

How long does an opened bottle last?

Accepted Answer

Once opened, stored in a cool dark place, it generally maintains its quality for 1-2 years. Citrus oils may lose their fragrance sooner (6-12 months), while resinous and woody oils can last even longer.
