The lavender in this perfume was grown in our field in Kinross-shire and distilled on the farm - the same oil, from the same plants, that goes into every bottle.

Scotland's cooler summers and slower growing season produce lavender with a different character to the varieties grown further south. Varying concentrations of linalool and linalyl acetate give it a clean, slightly sharp quality that's distinct from lavender grown in France or English.

Marina trained and researched as a plant geneticist. She now manages the farm's lavender programme, selecting new varieties to trial for their unique scent profile.
