ResinousWhat does Suffolk Lavender smell like?
Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and it leans towards daily, leisure and office wear. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and it sits fairly evenly between masculine and feminine.
Lavender comes first and gives it a fresh, green feel. In the heart, spices, frankincense and melon join in: the melon adds a fruity sweetness, while the frankincense brings a resinous, slightly smoky depth. In the base, musk and pine wood soften it onto a woody footing. Serge Lutens Encens et lavande and Compagnie de Provence Encens Lavande have a close profile.
