From Shade to Scent, We’re Intoxicated by Lavender

Editorial assistant Ella Charkes shares her lifelong love of the delicate hue.

June 17, 2023

Contrary to what you might think, lavender reaches its peak not in the springtime, but during the hot summer months—so what better time to celebrate the fragrant flower by bringing it into your home? From its heavenly hue to its calming scent, lavender is a no-fail way to lift your mood. Of course, I’m a bit biased—it’s been my favorite color for as long as I can remember!
