Yes, of course. Lavender is a popular perfume for baths, because it is calming and helps to put the mind at rest.

They do grow lavender in Mediterranean countries, like Spain and Italy, where it thrives in arid lands and grasslands. In the tropics it might not fair as well. Monsoons might flood the soil for too many weeks, which this plant will not tolerate. The plant benefits from a winter dormancy season at freezing temperatures to recharge its roots.
