Lavandula stoechas L. (Lamiaceae) is an aromatic plant species recognized as a potential source of phenolic compounds and has been traditionally used in many countries for centuries. Essential oils derived from species of the Lavandula genus are widely utilized in perfumery, cosmetics, food processing, and aromatherapy due to their diverse biological properties. In this study, the aim was to determine the total phenolic content and antioxidant properties of the essential oil obtained from the dried aerial parts of L. stoechas. The total phenolic content of the essential oil was measured using the Folin–Ciocalteu method, while antioxidant activities were evaluated through CUPRAC and DPPH assays. According to the results, the total phenolic content was found to be 1.349 mg/g. The highest antioxidant capacity was observed with the CUPRAC method, yielding a value of 2.408 mg/g, whereas the mean DPPH value was determined to be 0.054 mg/g. These findings indicate that the essential oil of L. stoechas exhibits strong antioxidant potential, with the CUPRAC method reflecting a notably higher antioxidant activity.
