Eau de Fleur Lavandula Maienfelser Naturkosmetik Manufaktur

I must confess that I made this purchase blindly and it was quite a risk, as lavender and I are not always the best of friends.
For as much as I love the scent of lavender in nature, it often ruins my enjoyment of it in fragrances (with a few exceptions).

This is my first natural perfume and I was very curious about what the impressions would be like.

First of all, it must be said that the first spray is quite intense, as the alcohol is massive and completely overpowers the lavender. Only moderately can one guess where the journey might lead.

It’s almost as if you are standing somewhere on the wild coast of France, the spray is whipping around you and a storm is approaching the shore. Or you might be in the middle of the Alps and suddenly see a large storm brewing, knowing you don’t have much time and need to find shelter to avoid getting caught in the storm...

Only when the storm has passed does a beautiful lavender field reveal itself behind a hill.
According to the manufacturer, the lavender comes from the French sea Alps at an altitude of 1800 meters... the high-altitude air has certainly done it good. The 'wild lavender' is hand-harvested up there and radiates a scent presence that is said to be among the most beautiful lavender fragrances...

Because after the alcohol has completely evaporated, you smell wild lavender in its purest and most beautiful form, so authentic that I immediately press my nose back to my wrist because it smells so soothingly beautiful and I feel as if I am standing in the midst of this enchanting lavender field....

A wild lavender, slightly herbaceous and spicy, becomes softer and more endearing over time, and I notice how strongly it calms me. At the same time, it is so present that I hope it never goes away... ah... the initial alcohol is completely forgotten.

Unfortunately, it is a fragrance that receives real deductions in terms of longevity. For me, it will be a scent that I will enjoy spraying in the evening, perhaps after showering or just before going to bed, so that the gentle veil of lavender I am wrapped in lets me fall asleep peacefully. It will surely be helpful to have this lavender with me during exams or when I want to consciously relax.

As it also states on the bottle: for refreshment and relaxation. :)
I feel wonderfully relaxed and will spray another round right away.

Conclusion: Those looking for a fragrance that lasts several hours will certainly not find the right one here. However, if you love and seek authentic lavender and don’t mind spraying more often or can accept that the magic fades after 2 hours, you can surely find joy in this maienfelser.

I am satisfied and will spray another round right away.

Thank you for sticking with me and reading.
