Fiore di Lavanda

The lavender is soft and herbal rather than sweet, and it stays close to the skin for hours without turning powdery. I've worn it to work and it never feels heavy. Easily my favorite floral this year.

The lavender here isn't the sharp, soapy kind I expected—it's softer and more herbal, almost like the real stems I used to cut from my grandmother's garden. Wore it to a dinner and kept catching it on my wrist all night.

The lavender here reads more green and sharp than the soft floral I expected, almost like crushed stems at first spray. It does settle into something calmer after an hour, but for the price I wanted more of that powdery sweetness throughout.
