I'll tell you straight to your face, unfortunately, I don't smell lavender

Lavender is a great herb
That often blows me away
It smells quite strong and really nice
In some fragrances, it also seems dull.
But at Ferrari, it's hidden
I search for it, wide awake
It gradually becomes bland for me
I can't find it, oh what a shame.

It starts citrusy and spiced
The top note feels very short
Immediately, wood mixes in
But it can't really be real.
Artificially sweet, it then continues
Vanilla doesn't cheer me up here
Along with a light powdery note
But that doesn't threaten me.

The whole thing seems strange to me
Maybe I'll ask in the lab
Where all the notes come from
They don't harmonize together.
It feels quite artificial and not fine
My nose calls out, "Must this be?"
It clings tightly to my skin
They really dared something here.

I don't find the scent really fresh
But it doesn't smell like fish either
Yet overall, it feels very dull
In my head, it goes thump-thump.
The scent is unfortunately a bit confused
Maybe they were a bit off while creating it
It's a big jumble
Perhaps coriander is still missing

I'm waiting for the lavender
But unfortunately, it doesn't come
Did they perhaps forget it?
Did the perfumer get stressed?
The longevity is impeccable
For some fragrances, it would be fabulous
I don't find it quite so nice here
Because I can't get used to it.

Pure Lavender is supposed to be the name of the scent
But I won't be fooled
Without lavender, it's just Pure
I'll just stay stubborn about it
I was looking forward to testing the scent
But it didn't turn out so well here
Thanks to Helena1411
There's no quarrel about Pure Lavender.

The bottle is really chic
The rest gives cause for criticism
Which I can't hold back here
But one can grumble now and then.
The test doesn't lead to a purchase
The scent has too little to offer me
Instead, I'll dare to
Look for other Ferraris.

The next scent will be better again
There are countless waters
I just wanted to tell you once
Otherwise, there might be complaints later.
If you don't like the comment
I can't please everyone
I express my opinion
And certainly won't keep quiet.

Hi there! Just sprayed it on and I smell a lot of lavender... Let's see how it develops.

Oh, you keep quiet! :) And you can write poetry too. Awesome! It would take me hours.

It wouldn't be like you to keep quiet...! I read your - very helpful! - text with a smile and I suspect that Ferrari does better with neroli than with lavender. If only Yatagan can find it, then it's better hidden than some needles in a haystack.

Reading your comments is easy. I really enjoy it!
I prefer to spray lavender on my pillow; I'd rather miss it on my neck...
Hehe, or something like that!

Then I don't even need to test this scent, because you share your opinion here so wonderfully... You really amused me and even inspired me to rhyme. There are always brands that produce the wrong fragrances. But we're not stupid; we know there's a better way. False lavender is for the toilet, the right one makes us happy. :o)

I actually like lavender, but after your great comment, I think I can skip this scent :)

The scent doesn't seem like the Holy Grail,
but I'll give it the Odeur Trophy :D

You step away for just a few minutes, and you miss everything! Great comment (Mr. vSpee's reply is pretty spot on too)!

A poem, a poem, and such a successful one at that. I don't know the scent and I don't want to get to know it now, as it seems to be a rip-off.

I'm glad we agree,
pure lavender really needs no beef.
Pure lavender doesn't need a bull,
you give it five, I only four.
You're absolutely right once again,
this stuff is confusing and just bad.
You can't smell lavender at all,
it also annoys me with a stinky tone.
Ferrari, stick to your cars,
save us from such "lavender" nonsense.

Maybe they'll rename it to "No Lavender" now. That would be your achievement, and it would also be suitable for people with lavender allergies. Reimpokal.

You really put in a lot of effort for a scent you didn't like! It’s written with great humor :) I enjoyed reading it. And the synthetic cashmere wood in the base is one of my arch-nemeses :) Fragrances with that ingredient always get ruled out right away.

Wow, what a delightful and funny rhyme comment on a lavender scent that really isn't one, so it's a flop.

I've written a lot of comments, but I can't come up with such great rhymes like you did here. And to do it as a critique! But that one wouldn't be mine! Poet's trophy!

Oh, I can definitely smell the lavender. It's that warm lavender note you also find in Fougères, but the base is indeed synthetic. That can be a bit off-putting.

It should have been a Ferrari, // but it’s just standing on one leg, // Pure without the lavender, // which is still hanging on the ribbon // in someone’s closet, // thanks to that dear moth! // So it’s no disappointment, // that you don’t need the scent. // However, your comment was totally // great, so: trophy!

If there's no lavender in the scent, you really feel cheated. My applause for the great rhyme, but I'm not falling for Ferrari's line ;-)

I've heard that it's not that great from time to time. The lavender fan in me thanks you for the warning against a blind buy!
