The English patient
Who likes lavender, and that should be due to the popular and useful fragrance decidedly many, for Lorenzo Villoresi has a considerable treat ready.
It says lavender on here, and you do indeed get the full pound of lavender. Initially still in such a massive extent that you wonder whether you have not sprayed on pure essential oil.
But gradually, the lemon also manages to draw attention to itself and put a fat candy-like accent, with the bergamot exudes this typical Earl of Grey charm. With it, a few nice herbaceous companions, which play but more so the third, fourth or fifth fiddle.
Coriander makes "Wild Lavender" very slightly clean-soapy, rosemary awakened and iris skillfully contributes a fine powdery counterpoint. At the end, a trace of tonka bean still appears, but in fact extremely restrained.
All this smells wonderfully wonderful English traditions - fresh, well-groomed as well as gentlemanly with a touch of understatement and just on the verge of a medical cure.
However, I must admit that I could not really get much out of Wild Lavender at the first run, but then at the second testing all the more, when the subtle nuances in particular of lemon, coriander and rosemary were more noticeable to me. This makes Wild Lavender a fragrance that probably needs another chance, so that it does not fall through as a coarse floral juice.
