Pleasant, slightly sweet and spicy lavender. Far from mind blowing but good value for money. Marketed for men but rather unisex to my nose.

True lavender on a musky base. An old school scent with a very good sillage.
Perfect for nostalgic people in the mid-cold season

Starts with bergamot and a lot of pepper, becomes pleasantly dry-warm and woody by lasting spiciness (nutmeg). Nice.

Lavender, Lavender, Lavender
I smelled this in the L’Occitane boutique – actually two different boutiques – before pulling the trigger. I was ready for a deep, woodsy, masculine scent, but before I opened up the box I knew I was in for something else. I smelled something light and floral - lavender. My wife had just bought lavender scent packets that help us sleep, so it wasn’t that kind of concentrated, herbal lavender, but a lighter take on it.

The first outing led to a scrubbing party. I wore it on my wrists and my skin amps lavender (for trade: one slightly used set of skin; amps lavender and pepper). I was walking around in a cloud feeling like a metrosexual Frenchman. Not my thing.

The second time I sprayed it on the back of my wrists and it smelled like lavender for a good fifteen minutes before the licorice showed up. The two played off each other for six to seven hours and then the scent became more soapy in its orientation and a touch more woodsy. The lavender returned to lay over the woods, for up to fourteen hours, and only after that did the accursed lavender finally exit, leaving behind faintly aromatic woods.

Eau de L'Occitan pour Homme is longlasting, well-blended, and well-balanced, but just not my thing. If anyone wants a bottle, hit me up.

Unmatched lavender bomb
A rich, herbal lavender bomb given a healthy sprinkling of earthy black pepper and other spices, sitting atop a cedar base. The lavender has a sort of lemony fresh polish to it, likely the elemi in the official fragrance pyramid, well balanced by the warmth of the spices. Moderately soft projection for 2-3hr, longevity 8-10hr.

Really highlights the beautiful and soothing nature of lavender, with minimal interference, in a way that few other perfumes do.

Peppery lavender
I tried this on a paper strip, and it smelled EXACTLY like Prada Luna Rossa! Then later on I tried it on my skin, and I got confused because the scent was a lot warmer than it was on the paper strip. It ressembled Eau des Baux (also by L'Occitane En Provence) more now.

And then once it dried down, it basically became a mix of both to me. So take Eau des Baux, remove the vanilla and incense to replace it with lavender, and that's pretty much what it smells like to me. The tonka bean and woodsy notes are still discernable.

Safe lavender
Wood, pepper and nutmeg - that what i smell.

This is a comforting and relaxing scent, that smells very good and has a great price.

Good projection, lasting power and sillage. Definetely worth a bottle!

A smoky lavender bomb
This fragrance was a blind buy for me and probably the best blind buy ever. I fell in love after the first spray as i was hit with a burst of lavender and after a while i started to get a lot of black pepper and some woody notes and maybe a bit of burnt wood or smoke.

this is what i have been looking for all this time while wearing mostly generic designer fragrances. this fragrance really started my journey down the rabbit hole and will always have a special place in my heart and collection.
