What does Lavender & Coriander smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter well behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. Voters split evenly between masculine and feminine, which leaves it balanced between the two.

It opens with coriander, adding a spicy, green edge. In the heart, sage and true lavender take over, and the base of French lavender absolute and tonka bean softens and sweetens it slightly. The floral, powdery side rounds things out without losing the fresh feel. Gucci Moonlight Serenade and Lorenzo Villoresi Wild Lavender / Inglese have a close profile.
