Essential oil (EO) properties of six L. angustifolia (LA) and two L. x intermedia (LI) cultivars were evaluated during summer harvest periods of 2017 and 2018, The cultivars were grown in Dörgicse, Hungary. According to our results, the essential oil (EO) content was highly dependent on the varieties in both experimental years (2017: p < 0.0001 and 2018: p < 0.0001). In 2017, the EO content values of LI accessions were all higher than those of the LA cultivars. However, in 2018, the mean EO content value of ‘Budakalászi’ (LA) (8.2 mL/100g) exceeded that of ‘Grosso’ (LI) (7.7 mL/100g). The EO of ‘Mailette’ (LA) and ‘Budakalászi’ (LA) contained the highest linalool proportions (52.9% and 47.0%) while ‘Beate’ (LA) showed the lowest (18.1%); and this latter variety was richest in linalyl-acetate (58.9%). LI varieties produced lower linalyl acetate and total ester ratios in comparison to the LA cultivars. Concerning EO composition, only the UK varieties ‘Hidcote Blue’ (LA) and ‘Munstead’ (LA) met the requirements of the Ph. Eur.This study provided evidence that the effect of growth year on the EO content was significant only in two varieties out of the eight. However, in the more rainy year 2018, the accumulation of linalool and linalyl acetate was significantly affected in several cases, where linalool proportions decreased and linalyl acetate ratios increased.
