Maintenance & Upcycling Tips:
Scrunch to Refresh: Essential oils are trapped in tiny glands on each dried flower bud. Scrunch or squeeze your sachet every few weeks to crush the buds and release a fresh wave of fragrance.
Vacuum Freshener Tip: When a sachet's scent finally fades after long use, open the pouch and sprinkle the lavender buds across your rugs or carpets. Vacuuming them up freshens your carpet while filling your vacuum's filter and exhaust with a fresh lavender aroma!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between French lavender sachets and English lavender sachets?
French lavender (Grosso) contains higher natural camphor levels, giving it a strong, crisp aroma that lasts for years and naturally deters moths in closets. English lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) has a softer, sweeter floral scent with low camphor, making it ideal for nightstands, pillows, and close-quarters relaxation.
How do I refresh my lavender sachet when the scent begins to fade?
Simply roll and squeeze (scrunch) the sachet between your hands. Squeezing crushes the tiny dried flower buds inside, breaking open microscopic oil glands to release a brand-new burst of pure essential oil.
Can lavender sachets help protect clothes from moths?
Yes. French lavender (Lavandin) naturally contains camphor and organic terpenes that moths and household insects dislike. Placing French lavender sachets in sweater drawers, linen chests, and coat closets helps protect fabrics naturally without harsh mothball chemicals.
How long do Weir's Lane lavender sachets last?
With regular scrunching, our French lavender sachets can last for several years. But how long they last will depend on how much lavender is in the sachet. English lavender sachets, which have a softer scent profile, are best enjoyed for 3 to 6 months before needing replenishment or an essential oil refresh.
What should I do with old lavender sachet buds when the scent is completely gone?
Untie or cut open the sachet fabric and scatter the spent buds over your carpets, rugs, or upholstered furniture. Run your vacuum cleaner over the buds—the vacuum roller further crushes the flowers, instantly deodorizing both your living space and your vacuum exhaust filter.
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.
