“Such a clean fresh feminine fragrance. Spritzing it on your face and skin on a warm day is so refreshing.”
A steam-distilled lavender hydrosol made from hand-harvested Lavandula angustifolia grown on our Maryland farm and distilled in our Owings Mills facility. Two ingredients: lavender distillate and aspen bark extract.
The lavender you're thinking of—the one in sachets, candles, old soap bars—is concentrated, heavy, almost purple-smelling. This isn't that.
This is what lavender smells like when you stand in a field of it on a June morning. Green stems, grassy notes, a little sweet but mostly just clean air. We harvest lavender from our Kent Island farm and distill it in our Owings Mills facility. The steam pulls out the scent and leaves behind this pale, barely-there mist that smells like the plant itself, not a perfume version of it.
Pairs with the Bayberry Leaf Flower Water — keep both on hand for different moods and uses.
How to Use: Face: Spray after washing, before moisturizer or facial oil. Body: Mist onto skin while still slightly damp after showering. Hair: Spray into your hairbrush or directly onto dry hair. Pillow: A few sprays before bed. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Use within six months of opening. External use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs.

Like standing in a lavender field on a June morning. Green stems, grassy notes, a little sweet, mostly just clean air. This is not the heavy, concentrated, almost purple-smelling lavender of sachets, soap bars, and cheap candles. It is the plant itself: Lavandula angustifolia from our Kent Island fields, steam-distilled in Owings Mills, with nothing added. The scent is present for a minute or two after spraying, then fades into the background.
Yes. The formula is two ingredients: steam-distilled Lavandula angustifolia and aspen bark extract, a gentle plant-derived preservative. No synthetic fragrance, no dyes, no parabens, no phthalates. It is vegan and made to spray onto a clean face before your moisturizer or facial oil. As with anything new, patch test on your inner arm first. For external use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
Yes, and it is one of the best uses for it. A few pumps on your pillowcase settles into the linen and releases as you move through the night. The scent is gentle rather than concentrated, so it does not linger overpoweringly the next morning. People who find traditional lavender sleep sprays too heavy often prefer this one. One customer told us she sprayed it on her sheets and swears she slept better. We are inclined to agree.
Different plants, same process, different moods. Lavender is bright, green, and quietly floral, drawn from our own Lavandula angustifolia. Bayberry (Myrica cerifera) is earthier, woodsier, and slightly spicy, distilled from the leaves and branches of the North American bayberry shrub. Lavender leans toward sleep, calm, and warm-weather refresh. Bayberry leans toward focus, grounding, and cooler-weather rituals. Many people keep both on the shelf and reach for whichever the day calls for.
A flower water, also called a hydrosol, is the water produced during steam distillation of plant material. Steam passes through fresh leaves, flowers, or branches, picks up the aromatic compounds, then condenses back into a lightly fragrant water. Essential oil is the concentrated oil that separates out during the same process. A hydrosol is gentler, water-soluble, and meant to spray directly onto skin or hair without dilution. Different product, same plant, same distillation.
Use within six months of opening. Keep the bottle out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Hydrosols are gentle water-based products without synthetic preservatives, so warmth and light shorten their shelf life. A bathroom shelf out of the sun, a nightstand, or a desk drawer all work. If you notice any change in scent or clarity, set it aside. External use only. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
We grow it ourselves at Chesterhaven Beach Farm on Kent Island, Maryland, then truck it to our Owings Mills facility for distillation. Steam rises through the harvested plant in small batches, carries the scent compounds into a condenser, and settles back into this pale, lightly fragrant water. Every bottle is filled and checked by hand. Two ingredients only: the plant distillate and aspen bark extract, a plant-derived preservative.
