A sleeper hit
I know the standards for reviews are quite high here, and I am not practiced in it, but I will do my best as this scent has no reviews yet.
I blind bought this fragrance, in wild hopes that I might find a lavender soliflore fragrance akin to the 1990s healing garden lavender body spray of my youth. So to be quite honest when I tried this for the first time, I felt only disappointment. It lacked the sharpness and pungency of a lavender sachet fresh from the garden, instead delivering an almost sweet powder note and initially no lavender that I could discern, However, the more I have used it the more it has grown on me and I have come to really like it. The lavender is in fact there, but it is a smooth lavender, yes a little powdery, but the tinge of sweetness I think is really just the lack of acrid bite that I typically expect from herbal lavender. I have come to rely on this scent quite a bit at bedtime, making me feel clean and fresh before sliding into bed, but it’s not so soporific that it can’t be worn during the day.
This was a happy mistake. Not what I was looking for, but it fills a spot in my collection I didn’t even know was there.
