Refreshment for the doctor and the dear cattle
As a self-confessed Anglophile with a penchant for tweed jackets, I have been searching for a typical scent for English country life for a long time. Some Penhaligon `s, Floris, Taylor of Old Bond Streets` et. al. went through my hands, respectively my nose. None of them could really convince me. And if there was a nice one, its persistence and charisma were arguably British "understated".
But somewhere it had to be found, the scent that Siegfried Farnon, the beary, sly and just therefore terribly lovable veterinarian, passionately embodied by the now deceased Robert Hardy, put on. Because with the series start of "All creatures great and small" (or "The doctor and the dear cattle") my heart for everything British began to beat faster. At that time I was 13, now 40 years older - and thus exactly at the age when Robert Hardy filmed the first seasons. If that is not a good omen for a test of "English Lavender"!
So, enough nostalgia, what is there to smell? Well, lavender. Sure. In the opening by bergamot and sage spicy refreshed, becoming softer over time, warm rosewood, musk and tonka bean are not explicitly to smell, but provide a lasting soft lavender freshness. The fragrance never loses its conciseness. A fresh, damp meadow in the Yorkshire Dales in the sunshine. To lie in. And it even lasts for six to eight hours! Works even on a snowy January day. I'm curious to see how it will play out its qualities in the spring!

The way is the goal!
What a wonderful fragrance Didier Gaglewski, the independent and extremely sympathetic perfumer from the perfume capital of Grasse, has created here! He takes us with him en chemin, on the way. Quite obviously on one that leads through the south...

Welcome to the Design Forest 3.0
Well, we know: more or less everything we smell in perfumes is chemistry, molecules copied from nature that fool our brains. Most of the time, fragrance artists strive to be so good at recreating nature that the illusion is perfect....
