It is said that there is a girl in the village of Provence. She was alone in the cold mountain picking budding flowers, but she met an injured traveler from far away. When the girl saw the young man, her whole heart was captured by his elegant smile!
So the girl invited him home, regardless of family opposition, and insisted on taking care of him until he recovered. After a few days, the traveler's injury has healed, but their love affair has spread rapidly and has reached the point of inseparable. [8]
One day soon, the young traveler said goodbye to the girl, but the girl who was in love insisted on leaving with the youth. Although her relatives tried their best to keep her, she still insisted on going to her hometown full of roses with her youth!
Just before the girl left, the old lady in the village gave her a bunch of lavender to test the sincerity of young travelers, because it is said that the fragrance of lavender can make unclean things appear.
Just as the traveler was holding her hand and preparing for a long trip, the girl threw lavender hidden in her coat on the young man. Unexpectedly, the young man's body gave off a purple light smoke and disappeared with the wind! And the girl in the valley seems to vaguely hear the young people's hearty laughter. In this way, the girl was left alone.
Before long, the girl disappeared. Some people think that she turned into a light smoke and disappeared into the valley like that young man. Some people say that she followed the scent of lavender to find youth ... Anyway, the legend of lavender has been handed down. So until now, lavender is still regarded as one of the important tools to drive away unclean things and incense.
