What does Lavanda smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter further behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and voters see it as both feminine and masculine, so it sits between the two.

Provençal lavender, spike lavender, coriander, aniseed and basil lead the top. Clove, rose, geranium and clary sage give the heart a floral, spicy turn. In the base, sandalwood, oakmoss, amber and tonka bean settle it onto a woody, lightly sweet footing. Tom Ford Beau de Jour and Yves Saint Laurent Jazz have a close profile.
