Lavnder vs. Lavandin:
What is the difference? Which one is better?

Lavandin ((lavandula officinalis)) is a blend of several Lavender and spike Lavender (Lavenders from several different categories). It is most widely used in soap and candle making because its price is cheap and it has a more sustain smell. It is also not used in aromatherapy.

On the other hand, Lavender ((lavandula angustifolia)) is the one that is used in aromatherapy. Different pure Lavender may smell different due to their production place, but they all are in the same category. Lavender has more floral smell than Lavandin and it is more expensive.
