Queen Victoria had her castles washed in lavender water while Queen Elizabeth I wore it as perfume.

Little did we know that Canada’s truest form of this multitasking flower is produced right here in Quebec. Fitch Bay’s Bleu Lavande farm grows 100 per cent pure lavender without pesticides and transforms it into sweet smelling linen water spray ($18.50) for your bedding and towels, rich hand cream ($19.50) to nourish skin, and dark chocolate bars for pure edible pleasure. 

Long live the Queen.
