Overview
Essential oil comes from Lavandula angustifolia and other non-intermedia lavender. Lavandin oil comes only from Lavandula × intermedia flowers. Hydrosol is the fragrant water left after distilling.
Ways to distill
| Where | Input | Output | Timer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drying barn & distillery stills | 40 flower units | 1 oil + 1 hydrosol | 1.5 to 3 hours (farm clock) |
| Copper Still facility (recipe) | 40 flowers (oil) or 25 (hydrosol) | 1 unit | 3 or 2 weeks |
| Processing Works copper still | 8 flowers | 2 oil + 5 hydrosol (before cultivar adjustment) | 90 minutes real time at tier 1 |
| Processing Works stainless still | 12 flowers | 3 oil + 7 hydrosol (before cultivar adjustment) | About 76 minutes real time at tier 1 |
| Enterprise distill work order | Up to the still's batch | About 1 oil per 18 flower units, plus hydrosol | A short real-time work order |
What they become
- One essential oil makes one lip balm, candle, bar soap, body butter, hand cream or reed diffuser at the Product Studio (base values 46 to 78).
- Lavandin oil makes the Lavandin Bug Repellent (78).
- Hydrosol makes linen spray, room spray and pillow mist (18 to 20 hydrosol each) and the Hydrosol Refill at the Packing Bench.
Tips
- Cultivars with a high Oil rating need fewer flowers per oil and make more oil per run in Processing Works.
- A Maker's or Sierra's perk shortens still runs.
