What does Lavande de Haute-Provence smell like?

Lavender and citrus fruits lead, giving a green, lightly floral freshness. Woods and musk sit underneath as a gentle, woody backdrop, while faint sweet and spicy touches stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet presence. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. It reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine. Alpa Windsor and Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood have a close profile.
