Natural Everyday Lavender at a Good Price
@ Steffel:
The manufacturer stated in conversation that this scent is unisex, and it is also marked as such on the website, so you are absolutely right ;)

I stumbled upon one of their stores in Arles by chance and felt immediately at home. A television on the wall reveals a lot about the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of lavender. In fact, I have never seen such a well-stocked lavender shop.
I tested the perfume and found the scent very pleasant. It is not too overpowering, but for example, with seat neighbors, enough of the scent wafts over to pique their curiosity.
The scent itself is, in my opinion, not the freshest lavender fragrance, and that is veeeeery good. It smells like a lavender bouquet that has already spent a day in the sun. However, I also detect a certain sweetness.
The longevity is quite okay.... with a spritz in the afternoon for going out or about, I have always made it to the later evening when heading home.

It is worth mentioning that this scent is really very affordable. 100ml costs €20, and if you like the scent, you can get 500ml for under €40 for refills.

Conclusion:
A solid and natural lavender scent for people who like to spray a bit generously ;)

Lavender from a Family Business
According to the (English) website of the EdT, the scent is "full of freshness." However, I don't find this fragrance particularly fresh at all. But at least: for me, it is a relatively fresh, spicy, herbal lavender scent. There is a slight warmth and powderiness. The herbaceous quality is by no means as pronounced as I know it from some English lavender fragrances (e.g., English Lavender by Atkinsons, Lavender Water by Trumper). On the other hand, the vanilla note (which I believe is present) is nowhere near as strong as, for example, in Pour un Homme de Caron or Lavande by Durance. The scent is intended for men, but in my opinion, it is unisex.
Le Chateau du Bois is, by the way, a family business (a lavender estate) that grows its own lavender and processes it into various lavender products. The estate has existed since 1820.

Warm-spicy, almost powdery and sweet-herbaceous lavender scent: an alternative to the many fresh, bright, and very sharp variations.
