Lavender herb saved lives in the Plague

In the 1650's when the bubonic plague killed one third of the European population.  There were  towns where no one ever died of the plague.  In fact no one ever caught the plague.


Each town had a perfume factory and Lavender oil was the base used in those perfumes.  




During this same time it was noted that no shoemaker ever died of the plague.  Could there be any connection to the Lavender oil?  Shoemakers made leather boots and shoes as well as leather gloves.
