What it smells like

Lavender smells fresh, herbal and softly floral, like a warm field on a summer day with a clean, slightly camphorous edge. There is a calm, aromatic sweetness, a hint of green hay and a soft powdery quality in the background. It feels tidy, soothing and classically masculine in traditional fougères, yet it also works in gentler, more modern blends. It usually sits between the top and heart of a composition, giving a comforting freshness that pairs well with woods, vanilla and citrus.

Lavender is listed in 1940 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the top, heart and base positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with bergamot, vanilla, geranium and musk.
