LUSH!
For the people who are interested in what the fragrance smells like and there is only one word for it: Lush.

My sister gave me Amber & Lavender for Christmas. So you could say it was a blind buy for me :D
I was very skeptical about the fragrance at first, as I think Jo Malone fragrances are the expensive version of toilet sprays or deodorants. For me, the Jo Malone EdC are not necessarily among my favorites, as I think you can get better fragrances for the price (150ml).

However, I was quite surprised by the cologne.
Amber & Lavender smelled like fresh soap to me immediately after spraying it. The lavender soap that we used to make ourselves as children with lavender flowers from the garden.
An hour after spraying, I smelled my wrist again and I knew the scent was familiar. It didn't occur to me straight away and I probably had to smell it five times before I remembered it:

LUSH!

I often walk past the Lush store (known for the bath bombs) and you get a big whiff of the mixture of all the bath bombs and beauty products in your nose.
The more I smelled it, the more bearable the scent became :D
If you want to have the Lush store in your home, you can get the EdC ^^

For men and women
I've only recently delved into the house of Jo Malone, and from what I've experienced so far, I'm impressed. Many dislike the simplistic nature of these colognes, and as a result, Jo Malone has been discussed frequently on our forums as not being worth the money spent. I agree that they can put a dent in your pocket, but I do enjoy them for layering purposes or even to spritz on when I don't want anything too loud or offensive.

Amber & Lavender is a charming unisex fragrance. It opens slightly masculine, with rich aromatic qualities and a heavy dose of lavender. I love lavender and often use it for soothing purposes. I'm also one of the rare few that find the smell of it rather seductive and alluring.

It's not all about the lavender of course, but it does feature strongly, particularly in the opening and the heart. I absolutely love the way Amber & Lavender settles on my skin; aromatic yet oddly clean. It's refreshing at the best of times and very easy to wear.

There's a glorious, subtle hint of mint that really freshens up the composition, also making it suitable for the warmer months. Although I would prefer this fragrance on a chilly day, the options are endless as it's a fairly versatile scent.

The amber accord isn't syrupy nor outrageously oriental like you may expect it to be. Every note in this fragrance is quite mellow and smooth. Patchouli and myrrh only add to this fragrance's beauty.

Another wonderful thing about Amber & Lavender is that it lasts. This can't be said of every Jo Malone fragrance, so I consider it a big plus. I'm surprised that this fragrance isn't more popular. I can only assume that women may forgo this fragrance thinking that it is only intended to be worn by men. I personally think it could go both ways. You'll either buy it for yourself or for your partner.

For me, one of the best in the line and the most underrated. Don't know why. This is pretty decent compare to some v. fleeting airy ones.
