The Olympic rain shadow
Why lavender grown here smells like this
Sequim sits in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. Storms coming off the Pacific dump their water on the peaks and arrive here wrung out — which leaves this valley dry, bright, and cool at night while the rest of western Washington is under cloud. It is the same weather logic that made Provence famous for lavender: long sun, low water, cold nights. Lavender answers that kind of season by putting its energy into aromatic oil instead of leaf. That is the whole story of what is in these bottles.
Dry, bright daysRoughly a quarter of the rainfall of Seattle, an hour away.
Cold nightsThe temperature swing that lavender rewards with fragrance.
Lean soilLavender sulks in rich ground. It thrives in ours.
Rows since 1997Some of the oldest producing lavender in the valley.
How it smells
The scent profile
Our own tasting notes, written at the bench — not a lab report. Lavender shifts a little every season, and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.

How to use it
The ritual
Small things, done properly. This is how we use it on the farm.

After dishes
The moment hands are dry is the moment lotion actually does something.

Cuticles
A small amount worked around the nail bed at night.

Gifting
It is the item people unwrap, smell, and immediately ask where you got it.
Two lavenders, two jobs
Royal Velvet or Super?
We grow two very different lavenders, and picking the wrong one is the most common lavender mistake there is. Here is the short version.
English lavender
Royal Velvet
Lavandula angustifoliaSweeter, softer, rounder. The one for skin and for winding down.
- Pillows and sleep rituals
- Anything going on skin
- Aromatherapy and unwinding
- Baking and culinary use
Low camphor, honey-floral, almost powdery at the finish. It is the lavender people mean when they say lavender smells calming.

French lavandin (a hybrid)
Super
Lavandula × intermediaBolder, brighter, more camphorous. The one for cleaning, linens and bug season.
- Laundry and linen closets
- Cleaning sprays and surfaces
- Diffusers and big rooms
- Keeping mosquitoes off the porch
Higher camphor gives it that spa-clean, almost eucalyptus edge — the smell most people picture as classic lavender. It also yields far more oil per plant, which is why it costs less.
Shop the Super oil →This one is made with lavender grown in our own rows. Where we can name the cultivar on the label we do — where a batch draws on both sides of the farm, we say that rather than guess.

Questions
Answered before you have to ask
Bakery first, lavender second. If you want lavender front and centre, the Lavender & Chamomile Body Wash or the Massage Lotion are the more literal picks.
Any order over $150 has one tucked in automatically. You do not need a code — it is calculated on your product subtotal at checkout.
Scale and distance. Most lavender product is blended from bulk oil bought on a commodity market, filled in the thousands. Ours is distilled from our own rows in a copper still on the property and bottled in runs small enough to hand-label in an afternoon. When a batch is gone it is gone until the next harvest.
A flat $8 anywhere in the US, however big the box. Instead of a free-shipping threshold with fine print, we tuck real gifts into bigger orders — a lavender sachet at $50, $75 and $100, hand lotion at $150, a canvas tote at $200. They stack.
