Lavanda Chloé 2019

I was looking for a light, feminine lavender scent - preferably niche - that isn't boring. I love Mon Guerlain Intense - but for everyday wear, it's too much for me. Definitely. I honestly didn't think it would be so hard.
Long story short: I eventually found myself at the Chloé counter. I had little hope. Chloé is not really my brand; I almost completely gave away my bottle of Normade to a friend a few weeks ago. And the first spray on paper of Lavanda? Quite scary. Just a sharp, cleaning product green and no lavender. I was persuaded to test the scent on skin.
And lo and behold: The top note, or the first impression, is still very NEON GREEN (grass and lemon for me) and unfortunately, I don't smell any flowers. Sorry! The sharpness thankfully fades quickly. The scent remains predominantly green for me, but it softens, the lavender shines through, and a few flowers join in. It has a bit of a wildflower meadow vibe, I would say.
Later in the dry-down, the scent is undoubtedly close to the skin, more floral, and powdery - which I personally find very sexy.
Lavanda deserves a chance: please don't judge it directly at the counter and on paper. The discrepancy was very large in my case.

PS: I’m still very open to ‘sexy lavender’ tips. ;)
