What does Lavender Palm smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It leans towards leisure, daytime and office wear, and gets fewer votes for evening or nights out. Masculine and feminine votes are close, so it sits somewhere in between.

It opens with lemon, bergamot and lavender alongside sage, bright and aromatic. In the heart, vetiver, cedar and palm leaf lay a woody, green base, with pink pepper adding a little spice. In the base, benzoin, tonka bean and moss soften it into a powdery warmth. A slightly synthetic sheen runs through it.
