What does Lavender smell like?

It opens with eucalyptus and mandarin orange, which bring a cool, bright citrus edge. In the heart, lavender and Provençal lavender dominate. The base of patchouli, musk, neroli and chamomile softens it into a powdery, gently sweet finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, though autumn is not far behind. It is chosen mostly for daily wear and leisure, with business and evening less common. Harry Lehmann Lavendelblüte and Chanel Jersey have a close profile.
