Lavandula is a rich and complex blend of herbs, spices, vanilla and woods. On first application, the lavender rushes around you, mingling with soft white cinnamon, green basil and a touch of black pepper. Then the hot earthy Provencal nature of the lavender spreads out, touched with muguet and sage becoming grassy green and sharply aromatic. The beauty of this fragrance comes in the dry down as vanilla, musk, amber and the seductive power of tonka bean melt onto the skin.
About Penhaligon's:
Fragrance is liquid emotion. It unlocks memories and opens doors; it can stop us in our tracks, lost somewhere for a moment in time. Recollections triggered by a dusting of iris, a whisper of clove, a burst of juicy nectarine, a trail of smoky incense, a creamy lick of vanilla. For more than 135 years, Penhaligon's has understood the emotive power of scent. Their fragrant adventure began in the Edwardian era of decadence and carries into the future as they continually create original scents for the discerning eccentrics of today - true modern dandies and bold women who are proud to go their own way. Today, their scents are still made in England using the finest rare ingredients - from hand squeezed bergamot, to jasmine at twice the price of gold.
