What does Brin de Lavande / Sprig of Lavender (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Provençal lavender sits at the centre, with tonka bean sweetening it and adding a creamy softness. Frankincense and myrrh build a spicy, woody, lightly powdery base underneath. The floral side stays in the background while the fresh, green character leads.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin with a quiet trail. Voters pick it most for leisure, daily wear and the office, while evening and night out come lower. Jo Malone Mimosa & Cardamom and Cacharel Noa have a close profile.
