Lavender oil
Lavender oil is an essential oil obtained by distillation from the flower spikes of certain species of lavender. Two forms are distinguished, ''lavender flower oil'', a colorless oil, insoluble in water, having a density of 0.885 g/mL; and ''lavender spike oil'', a distillate from the herb ''Lavandula latifolia'', having density 0.905 g/mL. Like all essential oils, it is not a pure compound; it is a complex mixture of naturally occurring phytochemicals, including linalool and linalyl acetate. Kashmir Lavender oil is famous for being produced from lavender at the foothills of the Himalayas. As of 2011, the biggest lavender oil producer in the world is Bulgaria.〔(Bulgarian lavender producers worried about demand drop ), China Post, 14 July 2011〕

It is used in aromatherapy but there is little evidence that it does anything.〔National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Last updated March 2008. (Herbs at a Glance: Lavender )〕
Oil of spike lavender was used as a solvent in oil painting, mainly before the use of distilled turpentine became common.〔"Solvent", pp 605-606 in The Grove Encyclopedia of Materials and Techniques in Art, edited by Gerald W. R. Ward. Oxford University Press, 2008 ISBN 9780195313918〕
