What it smells like

French lavender is a bold, aromatic herb that leans toward a medicinal sharpness. Its aroma is dominated by camphor and a rosemary‑like herbal tone, with a resinous, slightly piney undertone that evokes sun‑baked Mediterranean hillsides and wild scrub. Perfumers use it to bring an invigorating, untamed edge to accords, replacing the sweeter, soothing character of English lavender.

French Lavender is listed in 5 perfumes in this directory. It is most often used as a top note (60% of its appearances).
