What does Island Lavender smell like?

Island Lavender is a light perfume. Both its longevity and its sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters recommend summer and spring, with autumn not far behind. It is picked mostly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Votes on whether it reads masculine or feminine are split almost evenly.

Lavender leads, with earthy notes giving it a green, lightly woody ground. Exaltolide® adds a soft, powdery touch. The fresh and floral accords dominate, with a hint of spice and a fougère feel. Esprit Provence Lavande Précieuse and Plantes & Parfums Lavande Altitude have a close profile.
