Lavender scotch

Lavender is my signature heart note, and this one is wonderful, almost camphorous, almost salty. As beautiful and pure as if it were growing in my garden and I had just rubbed my hands through that little silvery bush. The soft amber base, super comforting and absolutely to die for (no surprise with the tonka x amber accord x benzoin combo), completely breaks away from any “basic essential oil” feel, and its satiny texture makes it an olfactory delight. It's stunning in its finesse and refinement, and a serious contender to Pour un Homme by Caron. Lovely

so strong

It's lovely but not my thing. The thyme and bergamot make it too bitter right off the bat. It honestly smells like iron to me. The geranium kinda detracts from the lavender instead of balancing it out where it needs it. A dash more Tonka bean would have been most welcome. A bit too resinous to be a gentle floral. Borders on your grandmother's wrinkly old soap bar that's been sitting in the bathroom for guests who only show up every six months.

Black Lavender

Uncommented Scents No. 163

There are very few lavender fragrances that are interpreted in a darker way. Usually, lavender represents a bright, fresh, herbaceous accent (e.g., in Caldey Lavender, Lavande Précieuse, Cotswold Lavender). Occasionally, sweet notes (vanilla, amber) are added (e.g., in Pour Un Homme de Caron, Brilliantly British, Lavande d'Hiver) or in combination with tonka bean, coumarin provides the characteristic fougère note (e.g., in Lehmann Fougère, Fougère Royale). Combinations with floral notes are also not uncommon (e.g., in Filz Eau de Lavande: Rose), or the composition becomes significantly more complex (Jicky, Mouchoir de Monsieur).
When it comes to dark lavender fragrances, the only one that comes to mind is Phoenix Botanicals Lavender Noir, a very rare scent that has hardly been noticed here so far. Now, in my view, another fragrance joins the ranks: Scotch Lavender. The amber and resinous tones (benzoin) are so distinctly highlighted that they already allow the lavender to stroll and darken in the heart note. It is noticeable that the lavender retains its freshness, but becomes resinous by the drydown. Despite the tonka bean, I believe one cannot speak of a fougère fragrance here, even if this association may develop after a while.
I like the scent; I find it original because it takes new paths, yet I personally prefer the brighter lavender tone.

Oh Dandy Boy...

Almost finished, he stands before the floor-to-ceiling mirror. The velvet trousers shimmer in dark green. White silk stockings and black leather boots, polished to a shine. The vest is a bit tight, but there's nothing to be done about that quickly, yet the silver chain of the pocket watch harmonizes very well with the heavy buttons of the jacket. The beard is curled, the curls styled. The brilliantine adds a resinous sheen to the hair.

The business cards are ready, they are sepia brown. Written on them, in flowing script:
- Fashion is so unbearably ugly that we have to change it every six months. - (Oscar Wilde)
and
- Fashion is about wearing things that suit you. - (Vivienne Isabel Westwood)

He will soon hand these out with a friendly, albeit slightly contemptuous smile, to the people on the street. To those joggers with beer bellies, the slouchy sweater wearers, tennis sock fetishists, flip-flop shufflers, and all the others who can't tell true taste from a potato sack and then dare to go out in public with it.

Only two spritzes of perfume are missing, it is his mask and his shield, and he is ready, he is once again Dandy Boy for an evening.

-------------------------

First of all, I confess that I am a fan of Oriza L. Legrand, even though I have only tested two of their fragrances. Reviving forgotten scents deserves respect in itself, and when it produces such timeless fragrances as this, it deserves even more. The formula is based on a dandy perfume from the late 19th century and is still (or once again) very wearable today, not just for dandies.

Lavender is my second favorite green note (after vetiver). As the main actor, it doesn't make it easy for me to love it, as it often comes across as very bright-floral, soft, and even sweet. Fortunately, the risk of that here is minimal. Scotch Lavender starts off scratchy and dark. Thyme adds spicy peaks, and I only perceive a slightly bitter peel from the bergamot. It has something medicinal, especially since an alcoholic note resonates as well. After 20 minutes, the medicinal impression fades, and a few flowers come into play. Later, vetiver adds a bit of freshness, but the lavender always remains dominant.

In terms of lavender type, the scent reminds me of "Wild Lavender / Inglese | Lorenzo Villoresi," which has a similarly dark, wild start but unfortunately becomes very soft and mild after a short time. What I find beautiful about Scotch Lavender is that it maintains its rather dark base mood for a relatively long time. The reason for this is certainly the resins (benzoin, amber) that support the lavender. Benzoin is quite prominent and brings a balsamic note, a touch of sweetness, and also slight chocolate notes, but no vanilla. If you don't like benzoin, this is definitely not the right fragrance for you.

The resins also create a rather warm atmosphere, making it quite wearable for me year-round, except perhaps in the height of summer. Towards the end, the tonka bean becomes more pronounced (thankfully without its favorite horror partner, vanilla), which makes the scent a bit sweeter and gives it a very slight marzipan note. It wasn't necessary, but it doesn't bother me too much either. The sweetness is also noticeable in this lavender, but not as strong as in others like "Pour Un Homme de Caron (Eau de Toilette) | Caron." The longevity is about 6 hours on the skin, and I can still perceive it on fabric after 9 hours.

To anyone who doesn't want to be a Dandy Boy (like me) and who enjoys walking around in public in sweatpants and a slouchy sweater (like I don't), I say: that's okay too. However, the scent surely feels better with a shirt, but that could just be me...

- Fashion is what you wear yourself. Tasteless is what others wear. - (Oscar Wilde)

Lavendula Grande

Perhaps the "Legrand" at Oriza is not just a name. It may mean more, an inspiration, a spark to create magnificent fragrances. I have already tested several perfumes from this brand and have owned some as well. All of them were, in an incomparable way, a "poem." Some are quirky compositions like "Horizon | Oriza L. Legrand," which couldn't be darker, more powerful, and patchouli-laden. Or the 2 "Specials," which are revolutionary class: Chypre Mousse (2013) and "Rêve d'Ossian (2012) | Oriza L. Legrand," which blow me away with excitement. Even the somewhat unconventional "Vetiver Royal Bourbon (2014) | Oriza L. Legrand," which becomes almost addictive after the third sniff.
And now a "lavender hit," interpreted slightly "dark," with a mysterious aura of herbs (thyme) and woods that contrasts with the fine, almost minty floral notes. Ultimately, there’s a hint of grassy earth, likely thanks to the vetiver. At first, everything seems to rise like a cool, violet mist from damp ground, later a balsamically warm veil settles over it. "Lavandula LeGrand," genuine, hearty, spicy, deep, aromatic, awakening, calming, mysterious, down-to-earth.... AMAZING!! :-))
