Analyses of lavender oils
Here's another  "real life" analyse:Sample:
Lavandin abrialis, organically grown (lavandula x hybrida clone abrialis), from the Haute Provence region at an altitude around 600- 700 meter. The sample comes from the latest harvest in august 1998. It was a very bad year for the lavender and lavandins, a lot of rain, there was not much wild lavender available and the linalol and linalyl-acetate levels are lower than normal. The fragrance is very pleasant though.

The analyse is performed by Daniel Dantin, who is also a distiller but a chemicus in a former life.
