France :

In Provence, lavender opens the doors to the senses, fragrances in an oasis, bluish with delicate touches of mauve. Appreciated for it’s aromatic, disinfectant, relaxing qualities, it began being cultivated in the 19th century. Since, it has become a genuine symbol in Provence, it invades the hills through the summer, draw large mosaics of blue-grey and mauve accents, a perfect retort to the humours of the azure sky. Paintings of true lavender of deep blue on the plateaus, horizons of lavandin, more grey on the plains, the venerated plant plays equally harmonious with the hot and luminous sun of this region, accompanying crescendo, in scent, its ascension, deepening in the landscape the diffusion its heady essence.
