I believe Luciaphil is right. The scientific name for lavender is Lavandula Angustifolia. It comes from liliac or violet petals. How I got on this topic is beyond me but I think it had to do with Vicky's scent or how lavender became associated with homsexuality. Am I right or wrong again? If Murphy's Law is correct I'm probably wrong. In any case..its a nice, sensual scent. So pleasing to the senses. And I love Cole Porter songs!!
