Lavender essential oil is commonly used as an effective insect repellent.  In addition, dried lavender fragrant bags can be placed in wardrobes where they will gently give off their scent to keep the clothes smelling fresh and clean.

The hot and dry weather in the central region helps to keep the dried lavender flowers in good condition, and they should give off their scent for 5 years or more.
