Blue Lavender Acca Kappa 2010
5
Unadorned Lavender
Once again something for lavender fans, I thought to myself... especially after Acca Kappa's Cedro completely failed with me, I naturally gave the brand another realistic chance. And this chance was taken, even though it was played down quite safely. Because I have rarely smelled a purer lavender scent, and there haven't been that many right in front of my nose. I have come to really like the smell of this flower, which stands just slightly behind iris or cedar.
For a moment I wondered if the lavender would be mixed with maritime aqua tones? No, thankfully not. The "Blue" probably refers more to the intensity and radiance of this unadulterated lavender. It shines alongside the blue sky and the azure sea of the French Provence. Although the scent could just as well have been called Purple Lavender, as I didn't necessarily accentuate and associate the color blue. It could have been that even more lavender-like purple. This radiance surely comes from the icy mint, which you don't smell directly, but you passively receive its aura. It never becomes really smoky or peppery in the linear progression, it was probably used very homeopathically. Overall beautiful, but also a bit lacking in tension.
Bottle: not worth describing.
Sillage: initially quite expressive, but then quickly more of something for the wearer and people who are very allergic to lavender and can smell it from 2 km against the wind.
Longevity: from minute 1 to hour 6 - radiant blue lavender.
One could almost take it as a demonstration example to show newcomers how lavender smells... simply beautiful, even if for the majority nowadays in this undiluted form it seems too classic and out of date. For me, it is also such a pleasure, especially in spring, although it is one-sided!
