In this video, i explains types of lavender. There are three main lavender types: English lavender, Portuguese lavender and Lavandin. Lavandin is the hybrid of English lavender and Portuguese lavender. One of the most famous lavendin is Provence lavender.
English lavender has its botanical name: lavendula augustifolia. Lavendin’s name is lavendula x intermedia. Their oils are quite similar with their chemical compounds except one chemical. Lavendin oil has higher camphor content around 7% in average. True lavender oil has camphor around 0.3% in average.
