True lavender comes from the Mediterranean region and has narrow, pale green leaves and violet-blue flowers. It was popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans for scenting soaps. Throughout Europe during the Middles Ages, it was associated with love and thought to be an aphrodisiac. In addition, it was believed that carrying lavender gave a person the ability to see ghosts. In Elizabethan England (1558–1603), it was a popular strewing herb as well as a scent for linen cupboards. Soapmaker William Yardley, of Yardley of London, knew a good thing when he saw it (or smelled it) and managed to get a monopoly on England’s lavender during the 1770s.
