Un amour qui sent la lavande...
Now you could say that I can't have an unbiased opinion because lavender is one of my absolute favorite notes. Nevertheless, I would like to write a few words about this beautiful fragrance, which is one of my favorites.
The lavender, together with the rosemary and sage, starts off very strong and spicy, which some would say gives it a rather masculine touch at the beginning. Personally, I get little of the listed bergamot, but the tonka bean soon appears and calms the fragrance down a little. The spiciness diminishes a little as the fragrance progresses, becoming rounder, softer and more pleasing - but the beautiful lavender remains.
Anyone who has ever stood in front of blooming lavender fields in Lubéron in the south of France can imagine what this perfume smells like. Unlike many lavender fragrances on the market, however, it is not a synthetic bath additive lavender, but actually reminds me of nature. Perhaps because of the bergamot and vetiver, it doesn't remind me of a field under the bright hot sun, but rather of a cool summer morning when the dew is still on the flowers and you can also smell the herbs among the plants, but the mist is already disappearing and another warm day is on the horizon.
In my opinion, an underrated fragrance that deserves more attention.
