L'Eau by Laura Laura Ashley 1995

To wrap up the week, I unpacked another miniature. L'Eau by Laura is unlikely to offend, as the scent comes across as very sweet and pleasant. The longevity on my skin is a good 10 hours with a solid sillage.

The top note starts fresh, fruity, and slightly green with aromas of orange grapefruit sugar, lemon zest, rosemary, galbanum, and mandarin peels. The heart note is exceptionally floral and chypre thanks to lily of the valley, daffodils, geraniums, garden cloves, jasmine flowers, and a touch of lavender. In the base, we get a blend of creamy, sweet, balsamic, woody, and finely earthy nuances. Here I recognize tonka beans, bourbon vanilla, oak moss, sandalwood, vetiver, as well as a bit of patchouli.

In the end, I find L'Eau by Laura quite beautiful. However, due to my extensive collection, I will still have to pass on the miniature.
