Lavande de Haute-Provence L'Occitane en Provence 2011

Basically, lavender always works for me - in the evening for relaxation, during the day to stay calm, in stress, on vacation, summer, winter... just always. I also love it combined with vanilla or wood or resin or... it doesn't matter, lavender works. And then there are those days, days when only lavender will do, and that's when Lavande de Haute-Provence is just right:

Simply a calm, fresh, delicate violet lavender... a hint of citrus, more of an idea than anything else, freshens up the beginning. However, I perceive it more as background ambiance. The same goes for the delicate, dry wood base. That too is not really prominent. A scent to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and recharge for a moment.

The longevity isn't great (about 2 hours) and the sillage is very close to the skin... but that's why Lavande de Haute-Provence also comes in a 300ml splash bottle. Perfect for reapplying generously from time to time.
