Lavender is not simply a single scent. For most of us, we pick products based on both scent and use.
If using around the house (our linen spray, room spray, sachets, house cleaner ... see house collection ... then we tend to use the French Lavender (Lavandin). This is a sharp scent that is robust and so will linger longer. Sometimes we'll soften the French with a bit of English Lavender (e.g. our room spray) and if using dried flowers for decoration -- you'll find we carry both English and French lavender ... see dried flowers
When using as a cream, soap, etc. ... you can choose based on scent ... e.g. the lemony / fresh scent of French Lavender (Lavandin) or the softer / sweeter scent of English Lavender. If you are looking for a product that may have more therapeutic properties, then look for the English Lavender. Going for a hike or sitting in your garden and want to repel bugs? Then use one of our body mists with French lavender (or our outdoor mist). Wanting something for your purse with an antiseptic properties? Try one of our French lavender essences.

Interested in knowing more about the oils we use in our products? Click here to go to the page on our oils. What we commonly refer to as 'lavender' is more than one species -- there are tons of them! There is much confusion over what is and is not lavender, including sorting through the many Latin names.
The two most popular varieties are Lavandula Angustifolia (what we call 'English Lavender') and Lavandula Intermedia (what we call 'French Lavender'). English Lavender is commonly referred to as English because historically it was developed for the English perfume industry. French lavender gets its name historically as it was developed for the the French perfume industry.
Do not let these terms fool you into thinking that only English grows in England and French grows in France! To the contrary -- both are grown everywhere. Each variety has a different scent and preference is a matter of choice. Both varieties:
- are believed to help you relax, sleep, relieve body aches, relieve anxiety, and may encourage blood flow.
- are considered to be an antiseptic and can clean the body and the home
- can help repel moths, spiders, and other bugs
English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia
The most popular and hardiest garden lavender in North America. Lavender species (e.g. Munstead, Hidcote, Royal Velvet, Vera) are from the "true" variety and have the most medicinal properties. This is the better lavender for cooking purposes but not all varieties work well in cooking. It has sweeter scented flowers because it contains less camphor (than French).
English Lavenders are used more for therapeutic properties and are believed to help with digestion, tension headaches, bug bites, burns, and minor skin irritations. Some of these properties have been well studied -- others have just been observed and therefore the scientific evidence is lacking.
French Lavender, Lavandula intermedia
French Lavender (Lavandin) species (e.g. Grosso, Provence, Giant Hidcote, Phenomenal) are a cross between the English Lavender and spike lavender varieties. Abrialii was a mainstay of the French industry until 1970s when it was ravaged by a disease. Grosso was discovered in 1972 and is now the dominant cultivar. Quickly emerging however is Phenomenal. The French Lavender plants are bigger plants (producing more lavender per plant). Aroma is sweet with slightly camphorous scent. The French Lavender scent is used more for its aromatic properties and considered good in cleaning products and products designed to freshen your home. Because of their high camphor content, French Lavender may help with sinus and snoring issues. It is believed that essential oil from French Lavender should not be used by pregnant women in the first trimester nor by individuals with epilepsy.
What essential oils do we offer and/or use in our products, and from where do they come? First and foremost we are a small batch producer and we care about quality! We used to grow lavender and so we know a thing or two about what makes for a good essential oil.
We source all of our lavender essential oils directly from family run farms that properly test their oils and can provide us with a consistent volume year after year. We source our hydrosols from Ontario lavender farms.

Going for the big bottle. Not a dime wasted on any products I've bought from Wiers Lane. Thank you for producing quality.

Interested in knowing more about the oils we use in our products? Click here to go to the page on our oils. What we commonly refer to as 'lavender' is more than one species -- there are tons of them! There is much confusion over what is and is not lavender, including sorting through the many Latin names.
The two most popular varieties are Lavandula Angustifolia (what we call 'English Lavender') and Lavandula Intermedia (what we call 'French Lavender'). English Lavender is commonly referred to as English because historically it was developed for the English perfume industry. French lavender gets its name historically as it was developed for the the French perfume industry.
Do not let these terms fool you into thinking that only English grows in England and French grows in France! To the contrary -- both are grown everywhere. Each variety has a different scent and preference is a matter of choice. Both varieties:
- are believed to help you relax, sleep, relieve body aches, relieve anxiety, and may encourage blood flow.
- are considered to be an antiseptic and can clean the body and the home
- can help repel moths, spiders, and other bugs
English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia
The most popular and hardiest garden lavender in North America. Lavender species (e.g. Munstead, Hidcote, Royal Velvet, Vera) are from the "true" variety and have the most medicinal properties. This is the better lavender for cooking purposes but not all varieties work well in cooking. It has sweeter scented flowers because it contains less camphor (than French).
English Lavenders are used more for therapeutic properties and are believed to help with digestion, tension headaches, bug bites, burns, and minor skin irritations. Some of these properties have been well studied -- others have just been observed and therefore the scientific evidence is lacking.
French Lavender, Lavandula intermedia
French Lavender (Lavandin) species (e.g. Grosso, Provence, Giant Hidcote, Phenomenal) are a cross between the English Lavender and spike lavender varieties. Abrialii was a mainstay of the French industry until 1970s when it was ravaged by a disease. Grosso was discovered in 1972 and is now the dominant cultivar. Quickly emerging however is Phenomenal. The French Lavender plants are bigger plants (producing more lavender per plant). Aroma is sweet with slightly camphorous scent. The French Lavender scent is used more for its aromatic properties and considered good in cleaning products and products designed to freshen your home. Because of their high camphor content, French Lavender may help with sinus and snoring issues. It is believed that essential oil from French Lavender should not be used by pregnant women in the first trimester nor by individuals with epilepsy.
What essential oils do we offer and/or use in our products, and from where do they come? First and foremost we are a small batch producer and we care about quality! We used to grow lavender and so we know a thing or two about what makes for a good essential oil.

Both my daughters, mu husband and myself love this spray. We use it every day when we make the bed.
Makes your linen closet smell like walking through a lavender field on a summer day. We buy the extra large bottle so we don't run out.
My kids (adults 18 & 23) absolutely love this spray. The girls use it daily to keep any spiders that may enter the house away. I use it several times a week on my duvet and throw to create a tranquil environment. We love lavender for its calming properties and the fact this is natural not a synthetic chemical. We have now graduated to buying the 2 litre refill so we always have this on hand. Thank you Weirs Lane lavender for creating such a high quality luxurious and natural product.
A light spray on pillow slips makes for a pleasant journey to
dreamland and sleep.
Lavender Linen Spray is a subtle and healthy spray for sheets/pillows and all bedding. It has hints of lavender that soothe and calm!
Thank you for keeping this item in your store!
Cheers!
At one time I used to buy a linen spray at Home Spence, unfortunately, the product wasn't available anymore. I visited your property with my daughter and was thrilled to buy your lavender linen spray in your gift shop. I spray the lavender spray every week on all my bed linens when I change my bedding. Thank you for a beautiful product!

I recently bought two bottles of the Oasis Found Room Spray, and I'm so glad that I did! Any time I walk into a room where the Oasis Found Room Spray has been used, I instantly feel rejuvenated! Just a few spritzes is enough to freshen the air!
Have it used it for years. Says it, all, right? Works so well it's the only one I'll use.
A lovely aroma, but not that long lasting
This lavender spray is a must in my household maintenance.
I have been reordering this lavender room spray for at least 10 plus years and will continue to do so.
I use it for my washroom.
A couple quick sprays & it refreshes the room in an easy on the nose gentle subtle way.
Love it !
This is the first time I've tried the Oasis Found spray and it's lovely. It's light and floral but not overpowering.

I love this spray. Cleans amazing with no residue and the scent is perfect for practicing.
I recently purchased two spray bottles of the lavender yoga mat cleaner for my nieces. They LOVED the scent once the mats were cleaned, and mentioned that their yoga mats weren’t sticky afterward. I will definitely be ordering from Weir’s again !!!
