Unrealistic "lavender".
This is not a particularly accurate lavender scent at all as far as I'm concerned. And I do concern myself when it comes to lavender...quite a lot. I do tend to be a lavender snob, but I've grown up around it and it's a huge deal where I'm from (there's even a "Lavender Festival" near where I live annually). I didn't set out to test this, but the opportunity presented itself.
If you would assume this to be a soapy, herbal, but a contrived "lavender" you'd be correct. It's a *body product* type of scent, almost like bath salts or some sort of generic hand lotion. Something that comes in green-washed packaging, looks like it would be naturalistic, but smells utterly unlike real essential oils. Like, generic off-brand products you get in a gift basket from your inlaws.
I actually think more vanilla would've helped soften this, but it's not apparent to me at all. There's something oddly harsh about this.
This isn't *awful*, and I think it could be a nice ambient scent, maybe for a room spray. I just didn't enjoy wearing it.
