About the oil refining process
The process of distilling lavender oil is an experience that combines science and art, similar to choosing the perfect capsule from Kuni’s fragrance collection. When you distill lavender oil, you are aware that every action, every measurement, and every temperature affects the quality and intensity of the fragrance. Just like at KUNI, the emphasis is on the pleasure of the perfect fragrance, carefully selected and elegantly presented.
In the context of the science behind distillation, when you understand the chemical processes of essential oils breaking down and evaporating, you also begin to understand the science behind Kuni Scentware. It is a technology created to enrich our lives with subtle fragrances that are precisely tailored to the taste and atmosphere we want to create in our homes.
The precise parameters you need for lavender oil further emphasize the importance of choosing the right fragrance capsule for your environment.

And as with any scientific process, when distilling lavender oil, knowledge and understanding of the science behind it are key to success. So too with any use of Kuni diffusers - knowledge of how scents affect us is what allows us to enjoy optimal sensory pleasure, at any moment and at any time.
Preparing the oils
Preparing for lavender oil distillation is just as critical as choosing the right scent from Kuni’s range of capsules. By maintaining the correct distance between the steam tray and the lavender, ensuring the plant doesn’t burn or over-pressurize, you create the ideal conditions for extracting the essential oils in a way that remains pure and potent.
Similarly, with Luxurious scent diffuser And Kuni's quality, innovative technology allows you to insert your favorite capsule and adjust the intensity of the fragrance to the atmosphere you want to create. As distilled water passes through the lavender, it takes with it the delicate aroma and essential oils, just as Kuni's capsules release the fragrances in a way that gives you the perfect experience you've been looking for.
Please note that, like distilling lavender, using Kuni is a painstaking and precise process. Knowing the right amount of water, the ideal spacing between the capsule and the diffuser, and coordinating the temperature and time ensure that the fragrance is evenly distributed, providing a relaxing and pleasant experience in every corner of the home.

Filling the distillery with lavender
The filling stage of the still with lavender is a key stage in essential oil distillation, where every little detail can affect the final result. Taking care to avoid air pockets and optimally packing the lavender in the still will ensure that evaporation is uniform and the essential oils are best extracted. Choosing to cut the lavender at its full ripeness stage ensures the highest amount of essential oil, which gives the richness and depth to the fragrance.
Lavender essential oils, like any home fragrance, have a profound effect on the atmosphere and feel of a space. Such essences serve not only to purify the air but also to create a relaxing, inviting, and healthy environment to breathe in. Scent has a direct impact on our mood, so choosing such essences for your home is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also of health and well-being.
Gentle, calming scents like lavender appeal to many people looking for a way to add a touch of tranquility to their lives, especially in an era where modern life can be hectic and stressful. The ability to fill your home with scents that enhance the sense of home and personal space is something that many see as essential to quality of life.
When we put the lid on the still and start the vaporization, we eagerly await the moment when the essential oil begins to descend, bringing with it all the delicate and pure aromas that can enrich any space.
The process
The process of distilling lavender oil is indeed exciting, and it raises the excitement just like the moment when you see how natural and ordinary products can be transformed into something so special and powerful. The boiling of the water in the still promotes the distillation process, in which the steam rises through the lavender, extracting the essential oils hidden in the bud and preserving the delicacy and richness of the scent.
From the moment the bud is exposed to heat and pressure, the essential oils begin to heat up and evaporate, creating an oily vapor that joins the water vapor. This is a moment of magic – the transformation of the tangible into the ideal, something we can actually feel and savor in our daily lives.
As with oil distillation, when choosing a home fragrance, the small details create a complete result. The moment of choosing the exact scent, similar to the moment when the essential oil is released from the bud, is a moment when we know that all of our decisions and actions come together to create the perfect home atmosphere.
This is the science and art of scents – every scent has its natural origin, and our entire experience with that scent has the meaning and impact it brings to our lives. We understand the value of natural scents and their potential to enhance our quality of life, enrich the scent of our homes, and contribute to a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
Steam condensation
At this stage of vapor condensation, we witness a sexual transition of matter from one form to another. The vapor that has passed through the lavender, rich in essential oils, is on its way to becoming a liquid again, just as the rising vapor encounters the cool water of a condenser and returns to its liquid state.
The magic at this stage is the ability to turn the delicate gas that rises from the lavender into a liquid that we can collect and use. The cooling operation is carried out in a gradual and calculated manner, to ensure that the vapor condenses efficiently and without misses. The hot water that comes out of the condenser indicates the heat that was taken to condense the vapor.
Similar to this process, the use of scent diffusers in the home is the essence of transforming the raw material – the fragrance capsules – into a sensory experience that enriches the space that focuses on the quality of the air and the atmosphere in which we live.
As the vapors cool and liquefy, you can see the final product – the essential oil and water – dripping into the collection container. This is where all the hard work and skill becomes apparent in the most tangible sense, as the essential oil can be collected and used in a variety of ways, including as part of a diffuser system that brings that special, soothing scent into your home.
Separation between oil and hydrosol
In the separation of the oil and hydrosol, we encounter a practical application of basic concepts in chemistry. The essential oil that floats on the surface of the water does not do so because it is heavier, but rather the opposite – due to its being less dense and having a hydrophobic tendency, two properties that cause it to move away from water molecules and not mix with them.
This process perfectly demonstrates the idea that all of nature works in harmony, with each substance contributing its part to create balance and a natural separation between different substances. Just as in everyday life, we try to find the balance between different things.
The essential oil produced can be used in a variety of ways, and one way is to upgrade the quality of the air and atmosphere in the various spaces we live in. The essential oil, as mentioned, is hydrophobic and will therefore be used mainly in devices designed to distribute fragrances and will not mix with the water on the surfaces on which it is distributed.
The hydrosol, which is the water that remains after the oil is separated, can also be used for various purposes, including skin care and even home fragrances.
Separating the oil from the hydrosol is very important for the correct and effective use of these two substances, allowing us to enjoy the benefits of each according to personal need and desire.
The yields of essential oil
Lavender essential oil yields vary depending on the type of lavender, and each variety offers unique characteristics that affect the quantity and quality of the oil produced. For example, the 'Grosso' lavender variety is known for producing a large amount of oil, and it is the variety that many people identify with the classic scent of lavender. Many people prefer the 'Grosso' variety not only for its high yield but also for its deep, arousing scent.
On the other hand, the lavender variety 'Angustifolia', also known as English lavender, produces a high-quality essential oil with a sweeter scent, which is preferred for aromatherapy uses. Although the oil yields from these varieties are lower than those of 'Grosso', the essential oil produced from them is considered particularly valued by aromatherapy enthusiasts, including professionals, due to its delicate and sweet scent.
Lavandins, which are hybrid varieties of lavender, contain higher amounts of camphor, which gives them a sharp, invigorating scent. This scent can be particularly useful for feelings of cleansing and refreshment, which is why it is also popular with many.
The choice between different varieties depends on the personal desire and specific needs of each individual, with each variety bringing its unique contribution to the world of fragrances and essential oils.
The yields of essential oil
In this article, we discussed the ancient and scientific process of distilling essential oils from lavender, a process that requires great knowledge and skill, and ultimately provides us with fragrant essential oils and hydrosols. Through distillation and condensation, we obtain essential oils with unique aromatic properties, depending on the lavender variety from which they are extracted – from ‘Grosso’, which produces oil with a classic lavender scent, to ‘Angustifolia’, which produces a higher quality oil with a sweeter scent.
The essential oils and hydrosol obtained from it are used to nurture, purify, and aromatize spaces, proving that nature and science can work together to improve the quality of our lives.
Kuni, the smart diffuser brand, uses advanced technology to distribute our favorite essential oils and fragrances around the home in an elegant and pleasant way.
