蓝色，紫色，锦葵淡紫色或是丁香淡紫色，不同品种的薰衣草的外观，这种普罗旺斯标志性的植物沿着山丘从瓦朗斯（Valence）高原到盖普（Gap），从阿勒斯（Alès）到韦尔东峡谷（Gorges du Verdon ）和韦苏比（Vésubie）。

只存在于一个特定地区的薰衣草是普罗旺斯永恒的象征。它们成片地盛开在蔚蓝的天空下，在灌木丛中，在百里香和金雀花丛中，创造出一个无与伦比的五彩芬芳的王国。

它们醉人的香气优雅地点缀着罗纳河、阿尔卑斯山和地中海的高山与盆地，在这里，它们与地中海特有的米斯特风、蜜蜂、知了以及其他阳光下的昆虫作伴。

它们随风摇曳，像翻腾的海浪，每一朵细小花都释放出一小部分诱人的香气。它们像孩子般尽情享受微风的爱抚，它们慷慨地为蜜蜂们提供花蜜，任由它们带走生命的甘露。

它们的故事，它们在干旱中生长的特殊才能，它们出产的可以广泛使用的精油，都使它们成为南法最受欢迎的植物，为这里众多农场带来可观的收入。薰衣草的种植为当地的领土规划和人口数量的维持做出了贡献。
蔚蓝的天空，紫色的薰衣草，绿色的橄榄树和其他植物，淡粉色的杏花，都在向您发出畅游普罗旺斯最盛情的邀请。

生产与可持续发展 Florence ETIENNE 周一 15/02/2016 - 17:45

2008年4月10日在巴黎举办的第一届“可持续地球”展览会上，薰衣草种植者与法国农业部部长米歇尔巴尼尔共同签署了《可持续发展章程》。

此章程包含三个方面：社会、经济、环境。

所有薰衣草的种植方法今后都将被纳入此章程中。

事实上，薰衣草生产者们长期承受着巨大的压力：他们被要求通过克隆薰衣草来提高产量并采取高污染的集约耕作。尽管如此，他们仍然毫不犹豫地做出了签署章程的决定。

正因为他们在大自然中生活，这些真正薰衣草的生产者们深知薰衣草的美丽是多么脆弱。
所有他们自然而然地加入到了保护薰衣草的行列中。

真正薰衣草和醒目薰衣草是普罗旺斯几十年以来传统而具有象征性的产品。

照片来源： Steffen Lipp

在20世纪初，人们将薰衣草采集并开始种植，这种芳香植物为人们提供很多好处。

普罗旺斯的薰衣草种植：
- 4个省：德龙省、上普罗旺斯省、上阿尔卑斯省、沃克吕兹省;
- 20 000公顷的种植;
- 2000个生产者和大约25 000名雇员;
- 120间蒸馏厂，其中30间向游客开放参观.

在普罗旺斯山丘上常见的野生薰衣草和我们种植的薰衣草有不同的名字：无论是真正薰衣草，精细薰衣草或者是种群薰衣草，其实指的都是拉丁学名为lavandula angustifolia P. Miller的芳香植物。
对薰衣草进行挑选可以提高其生命力、精油产量或者增强花的颜色。依靠克隆技术，被挑选的个体的优良品质能够得到精准的复制。
因此出现了克隆薰衣草。.

因此真正薰衣草依靠播种繁殖，而克隆薰衣草依靠扦插繁殖。
扦插繁殖法能提供与母株特点相同的子株。
在一块真正薰衣草田中，每株薰衣草与其相邻的薰衣草基因都不相同，各株薰衣草外观极为不同，颜色和大小也区别很大。由此提炼的薰衣草精油香味更加丰富，香味组成成分更加平衡。

这是唯一获得AOP原产地保护认证的薰衣草品种。.

薰衣草的生产

薰衣草的种植让这片贫瘠、多山、多石而干旱的土地充满生机。薰衣草能够在600米至1200米的海拔生长，在这种高海拔和普罗旺斯干旱的气候下，其他植物很难生长。

薰衣草是多年生植物，可以种植十几年。

薰衣草7月开花，7月14日左右收割（根据海拔高度和年份有所不同）。
精油的主要产区位于在阿尔比恩高原，沃克吕兹省东部，德龙省南部，上普罗旺斯阿尔卑斯省和上阿尔卑斯省北部。

L'AOP en quelques questions

Florence ETIENNE — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 10:34:26 +0000

关于原产地保护认证的问题 Florence ETIENNE 周一 11/04/2016 - 10:34

为什么需要原产地保护认证？

为什么这种薰衣草需要原产地保护认证？

因为除了原产地保护认证，普通消费者和小型企业用户一般没有任何其他的方式确认薰衣草精油的来源和品质。

目前在市场上销售的很多名为“薰衣草精油”的商品，通常都是进口的或者以醒目薰衣草为原料的甚至是使用合成物质成分构成的产品。

这些做法都是以牺牲产品品质为代价来降低价格。
许多含有薰衣草精油成分的产品也牵涉其中。
即使是法国质量认证标准（AFNOR）、国际质量认证体系（ISO）甚至欧洲药典，都能被轻易地规避。

哪种薰衣草能够获得原产地控制认证？

只有通过传统种植获得的纯种薰衣草，也叫真正薰衣草、精细薰衣草或者种群薰衣草，才能获得原产地保护认证。

克隆薰衣草不符合认证标准。

原产地保护认证用于什么产品？

只有在特定产区的蒸馏坊中通过对带花的薰衣草茎梢蒸馏得到的精油（又称精华）才能获得原产地保护认证。

获得原产地保护认证的精油必须符合以下要求：
• 来自四个生产大省、海拔不低于800米的指定产区。这四个生产大省是：
- 德龙省，
- 沃克吕兹省，
- 阿尔卑斯和上普罗旺斯省，
- 上阿尔卑斯省。
• 通过色谱分析和香味的双重审查（匿名样本）。

原产地保护认证是如何被授予的？

原产地保护许可证书，是由上普罗旺斯薰衣草精油生产者协会（APAL）根据权威检测机构检测结果颁发的合格证。它能够保证产品的来源、可追溯性和传统品质。

获得原产地保护认证的产品在以下领域需求最大：
高级香水
化妆品
药品
植物疗法
芳香疗法
芳香药理学

为了获得原产地保护认证，上普罗旺斯的薰衣草精油必须符合以下条件。

有机薰衣草 Florence ETIENNE 周一 11/04/2016 - 12:58

有机薰衣草 VS 原产地认证薰衣草

面对在芳香疗法和芳香药理学领域日益增长的需求，生产者们自发组织起来生产通过认证的精油。
事实上，这项认证是对外国消费者的珍重承诺。

获得原产地保护认证的薰衣草必须符合原产地保护法令中明确规定的植物学来源、可追溯性、各成分之间的平衡性和香味品质等各方面要求。

上普罗旺斯薰衣草精油受到这项认证的保护，它也是法国唯一通过此项认证的薰衣草精油。
除了受到原产地保护的薰衣草，其它的薰衣草都不能使用类似的名称或者提到它的产地。

有机薰衣草则保证它的生产方式：不使用任何杀虫剂和其它化学产品。
这种薰衣草带有AB有机标志，但是产地并不限于某一特定的地区。
一种薰衣草可以同时是有机的和获得原产地保护认证的。在获得原产地保护认证的薰衣草中，有一小部分是有机的。
在这种情况下，产品的地理和植物学来源以及其他原产地保护认证的保障，尤其是对香味品质的保障，都是它对于其他产品额外的优势。

但是即使是在传统种植中，薰衣草也不需要或者只需要很少的杀虫剂。
事实上，顶枯（一种由叶蝉引起的植物疾病）会导致植株的大量死亡，但是目前还没有任何措施、任何药剂能够有效地解决这个问题。

Endangered lavender - Petition Florence ETIENNE 周一 11/04/2016 - 20:03

Help save lavender, aromatic and medicinal plants

A petiion is going on on Avaaz in order to save lavender !
Then help us, sign this peittion, we need you!

Save us, save lavender, Sign this petition

Lavender and other aromatic and medicinal plants along with their extracts have been used throughout history and form part of our common heritage. Their benefits have been proven over thousands of years.

Today, under European regulations, these natural products have been placed in the same category as man-made chemical products and as such they are subject to restrictions which in practice make it impossible to continue their use.

The only ones to benefit from this situation are the chemical industries who will have free reign to substitute their synthesised chemical products for the natural products. This will be detrimental to consumers’ health and at the cost of the disappearance of rural and agricultural lands.

Don’t let them get away with this!

Help us defend the cause and save these plants and their uses. By signing this petition, you will contribute to the preservation of natural products, those who cultivate them, and the environment they are cultivated in.

For more details and information, see the sites listed below:
PPAM de France (Aromatic and Medicinal Plant Professionals Union)
Facebook

We will never accept the unacceptable !

To The President of the European Commission

We, citizens of the world, ask you not to treat lavender and other aromatic and medicinal plants as well as their traditional extracts as chemical products. We say NO to European regulations which are irrelevant to and destructive of natural products. We ask that these products be accorded a specific status in relation to their production and use.

Bonjour
Je suis une très grande amatrice de l'huile essentielle de lavande, pour toutes ses vertus pour les petits et les gros bobos : piqûre d'insecte, brûlure, douleur et bien d'autres encore. je m'en sert également comme parfum d'ambiance.
quel bonheur de rentrer dans une maison ou un appartement qui embaume la lavande
Que dire des champs de lavande fin juin début juillet, un si beau paysage de bleu ensoleillé.
Depuis 1995 je passes mes vacances dans la région du Vaucluse, Luberon et les Alpes de Hautes Provence, et tous les ans je ramène mes mes huiles essentielles et autres produits, d'excellente qualité.
Tous ces "costumes cravates" devraient s'occuper des vrais problèmes, plutôt que d'essayer d'en trouver là ou il n'y en a pas.

Perfumers rebel against Florence ETIENNE 周一 11/04/2016 - 20:29

Raymond CHAILLAN

A CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEBATE

New synthetic drugs have still not been classified, but we can buy them freely and legally in shops or on the Internet and these have been killing dozens of young consumers in an astonishing indifference, for years. The guilty silence is deafening.
Killed by the million, victims of insecticides, neo-nicotinoids, bees have been disappearing; the natural balance of pollination is being jeopardized by the disappearance of beekeepers.
Pesticides can be found everywhere in our food, -dangerous, carcinogenic sometimes. Parabens, biphenols are still there. Bah!

And in a joyous mess where the absurdity does not seem to bother anyone, we see and hear everywhere, in newspapers, on television, on the radio, people glorifying and promoting essential oils as natural and organic. In aromatherapy, aromacology, their benefits are listed one by one, their soothing qualities here, and there, the bacterio-static properties. How to energise the water in the baby’s bath, early-morning rubs, gels and massage creams, and everyone has to add his little contribution: We remember Egypt, Ancient Greece, the essence of rose or jasmine, used on the hair or for the body, in royal bedchambers, the water demanded by the Queen of Hungary and the use of rosemary, the Cologne water used by Napoleon and its essence of orange, bergamot, lemon, Eau de Cologne Imperial by Guerlain ...
In the kitchen, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, tarragon, cloves, nutmeg, even worse cinnamon, lemon, orange, tangerine tarts, candy, or biscuits flavoured with lavender (can be fatal if swallowed or if breathed in...) mugwort liqueurs, lozenges with pine, eucalyptus, mint essence, etc ... what have we found? Essential oils contain allergens. They are the source of all our ills.
Allergies, of course, but also asthma, melanoma, various irritations, perhaps cancer etc ...
Endocrinological disorders, exhaust pipes and air pollution, pesticides, peanuts ... etc ?
All of these are marginal. Forget about their dangers.

So poison, then. But, of course, it is the essence of lavender: a dangerous product which must be kept far out of the reach of children (wash thoroughly after handling), distillers around their stills, perfumers and their assistants in the laboratories – can they all be wearing astronaut suits?
But then, what about the products sold in pharmacies for fumigations as treatment of respiratory diseases, or lung diseases with thyme, lavender, cinnamon, cloves, etc.,? Cream balms and massage oils with essences of thyme, lavender, melaleuca, or peppermint ... ?
Also dangerous for the skin, citrus essences with their limonene, citral, linalool, geraniol, just like the essence of orange blossom that some use to flavour cakes.
It is no longer 26 but 179 allergens that are at present covered by the SCCS. Drastic restrictions or prohibitions, there is now talk of ppm.
What is happening is serious. We have lost all sense.
Europe has become Nonsense land, The King has lost his marbles!
This new directive will announce the death of the plantations of lavender, of hybrid lavender, and the sage from the southeast of France this agriculture of the dry mountains that governments have helped in the recent past, with subsidies ... often from Europe. It will wipe from the map the orchards of Sicily, Calabria,and the Maghreb, the last rose gardens of the south of France, Bulgaria, Turkey, Morocco, the fields of jasmine, or geraniums.
It will further reduce the perfumers' palette, limiting their creativity. The tyranny of computer software will render all creative research vain by imposing uniformity, and mediocrity. Think of new fragrances without natural products, the disappearance of many old and trusted ingredients heralding the triumph of synthesis and its supremacy.
Europe has given in this area one of the greatest ever examples of destruction.It will have sealed the fate of the French luxury perfume industry and its unique reputation in the world.
But what does that matter when India and China are opening schools of perfumers, building factories, museums , planting lavender, and hybrid lavender, and buying the essences of ylang ylang we can no longer use.
Europe will have succeeded in destabilizing a thriving industry that generates millions of jobs in the world and billions of euros for our economy. Do we want 950,000 more people unemployed?
We do not understand, we are incapable of understanding such a level of inconsistency, such determination against our own side, this unfair frenzy of dismantling, but we cannot fathom either such silence, such torpor on the part of the producers and the industry.
It was in fact during the presidency of Mrs. Nicole Fontaine that the report on "ingredients of perfumes, a danger to the health of consumers in Europe" was initiated.

How is it possible that we could just stand by and accept without hesitation that essential oils could be considered a mixture of chemical molecules: limonene, pinene, geraniol, linalool, iso-eugenol, citral, coumarin, etc ... and that the distillers of lavender and other essential oils be termed manufacturers when they simply extract from flowers, leaves, fruit, etc...
Or else stop talking to us about Nature and what is natural! And is it linalool or oxidized linalool? patch-testing? thresholds used?
Is there no longer any voice to be heard?
And all this because 1%, perhaps 2% of the population might be really allergic?

The lavender growers and their fields decimated by the leafhopper fields did not need this latest trick.
Every member of the perfume, cosmetics, or aromatherapy industry must unite (how discouraging it is to have to repeat this again) to end the mass suicide organized and programmed for over 20 years, due once more to Brussels.
