“Do you have a lavender fragrance?”
How many times have many of our customers asked us this question! It is well known that the allure of pure, natural essences, especially during the summer months and particularly in June, has no rival, including in the world of home fragrances.
At Acqua delle Langhe, we are always inspired by nature and the wonderful UNESCO World Heritage landscape of the Langhe in Piedmont when creating our home fragrances.
To create Langa Fiorita, one of the Acqua delle Langhe home fragrances that most evokes freshness and cleanliness, the focus is precisely on lavender essential oil.
A HOME FRAGRANCE THAT SMELLS OF LAUNDRY DRIED IN THE SUN
It is no coincidence that Langa Fiorita is the fragrance that often brings to mind the scent of fresh laundry, perhaps hung out to dry in the open air in the gardens of country homes…
The term lavender actually derives from the verb lavare: this magnificent plant, with its many properties, was once used above all to scent the water used for washing.
Even today, it is best known for its use in soaps and detergents and as a linen freshener, and for us at Acqua delle Langhe, it represents the quintessential old-fashioned fragrance.
THE LAVENDER FIELDS OF THE LANGHE, IN PIEDMONT
When people think of lavender, Provence immediately comes to mind. But not everyone knows that Piedmont also has a little “Provence of Italy”: Sale San Giovanni.
It is a small village in the Alta Langa, surrounded by spectacular hills and intoxicating scents.
Lavender has now taken root in these places, thanks to the plant’s love of temperate climates and its ability to withstand the sharp temperature fluctuations that are certainly not lacking at this time of year!
Here are a few interesting facts if you are planning a weekend in Alta Langa, Piedmont, during the lavender flowering season:
- Between the second half of June and the beginning of July, the small hilltop village changes appearance as the fields turn shades of purple and blue, creating scenery that has attracted an increasing number of visitors over the years.
- Not just lavender: numerous medicinal plants also grow here, including hyssop, chamomile, yarrow, sage, coriander and fennel, cultivated according to the principles of organic and biodynamic farming, which have been practiced in the area for over twenty years across approximately 25 hectares.
You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to immersing yourself in the wonderfully fragrant and colourful hills of our region!
