Lavender

Hey Christina,

> switch this woman from YL to Butch's great products?

 

Fine with me .. switch them to ANYBODY besides YL and I grin. :-)

 

> But Butch, could you stand having your lavender smell

> like YL's? LOL ;-)

 

That's fine too .. could be they got it from me. ;-) I am serious ..

they know I refuse to sell to them .. they tried to buy a barrel of

Oregano EO from me once .. direct export from Turkey and I refused ..

told them why too. Didn't want my products tampered with and didn't

like Gary Young. So maybe they're buying under a phony name now. ;-)

 

> Christina

 

I will move down and answer Vaneta now .. I was gonna do it so I might

as well do both at once.

Yes'mam .. that you did and thank you I do. :-)

Likely the latter .. might be no difference .. or not enough that it

jumps out and bites one. Or .. could be mine. ;-)

 

>>The label on YL lavender says it is: Lavandula angustifolia

>>Linalol CT

 

That is strange to me .. but I'm a retired Military Cop so I reckon I'm

the suspicious type to begin with. Why would they go to the trouble of

emphasizing Linalool in a Lavandula angustifolia? The major components

of all L. angustifolia are Linalool and Linalool acetate. Even Spike

Lavender (L. latifolia) and the French/Turkish Lavender (L. stoechas)

have those two chemicals to some degree .. and .. Lavandula angustifolia

is not a Chemotype and that's what they mean by the CT.

 

Lavandula angustifolia is a species. A Chemotype is a population of

plants belonging to a particular species that differs chemically from

others of that species. Thymes are a good example .. as are Rosemarys

and Basils.

 

Just makes me wonder why they are emphasizing this.
