History and background
Although lavender now grows around the world, it’s thought that the plant first appeared in either the Mediterranean, the Middle East or India. Records date back around 2,500 years, with the Ancient Egyptians being well known fans of the plant. They used it to make perfumes and fragrances that, unbelievably, could still be smelt when Tutankhamun’s tomb was first opened in the early 1920s.
The much-loved plant first made its way to the UK under Roman rule, thousands of years ago. Although it was loved for its distinctive aroma even back then, it was mainly used as a natural antiseptic. This explains the name lavender, which is believed to have derived from the latin ‘lavare’, meaning ‘to wash.’
How to use dried lavender flowers
With its unmistakable fragrance, lavender is renowned for its use in the beauty industry, but this striking plant has many other applications.
Central to its popularity as a botanical ingredient is its abundant, floral fragrance; it’s both highly distinctive and highly prized. Both the Romans and the Greeks used the plant as a fragrance, while the Egyptians favoured its use as an embalming ingredient. Today, it’s used mainly to create perfumes, fragrances and other scented products, including skincare – although it is occasionally used in cooking, brewing and distilling.
