I guess, based on this article, I'd call it "Aceite esencial de Lavandula."

Hi Ian
As the Wikipedia article provided by Marianne has suggested "Aceite esencial de Lavandula (99 Google hits)" could work; however, it is probably far more common to see it as "aceite esencial de lavanda (173,000 Google hits)" or just "esencia de la lavanda (1,880 Google hits)" or "esencia de lavanda (31,200 Google hits)." This is because Lavandula is the genus name of the 40 or so species of lavender. The common name for this plant is "lavanda/lavender" (however, if you prefer the scientific name, I believe that the most common species used to make these essential oils would be Lavandula angustifolia).
