Agua Lavanda

A gorgeous lavender soliflore (both floral and herbal aspects shine in this bottle), from 1940, that has transcended time with brilliance, charm and grace. It is, undeniably, a beautiful scent that drifts you away to the fields of lavender in Provence. A light, but incredibly pure Eau de Cologne that is meant to be applied by being splashed on - liberally. Indulge! I love how it wears on my skin - the floral aspect is soft and lovely with the herbal, slightly sharp greenness of the blade resonating through...providing focus. While it is soothing in one aspect, it is invigorating in another. One can expect the aromas to waft up for about 90 minutes to a little under 2 hours, but the first hour is where it shines the most...a soft skin scent after that. Oh, how it layers so perfectly with Caron Pour Un Homme!! But, I also like to wear this in the mornings by itself, during warm afternoons and in the evenings after a shower. Aromatherapy in a bottle. I also enjoy layering it with other masculine scents (including classic Aromatic Fougeres & Chypres) - usually a nice application after a nice morning facial cleansing or shower and then apply the Aromatic Fougere or Chypre (EdT) about an hour or so into the wearing of Agua Lavanda, as it layers over - the nice lavender note is enhanced, but not overdone. In the evening, putting a nice splash on before bed truly helps you drift away to a restful sleep... More notes are listed in the pyramid above - and I do smell accords within the scent, but this really is about purity of the lavender and one of the most perfect "scents" in the last millenium - timeless, charming and always comforting. It is lavender, done to perfection. Never cloying and as natural an aroma as one will have the opportunity to smell in this lifetime. Muchas gracias, Puig...for continuing to make this amazing juice that we all get to still enjoy! A true pleasure in life. Salud.

Quite possibly the best all-round personal care and multi purpose product in the world today. The only thing this product is missing is you! For me, it's crowning glory is the noticeable (and listed on the bottle) tree moss content, it's exceptional in a product this cheap. It speaks volumes about the cost of ingredients vs the price you pay for other brands IMO. Apart from enjoying this as a cologne and pick-me-up,anti-psychotic and all-round WOW! Juice, this is a fantastic cleaning agent (it cleans paintbrushes and art palettes in a jiffy!) solid antiseptic, deodorizer, fire starter and so much more.At the purchase price, it is literally hundreds of dollars worth of products in one $10-15 bottle. This product could actually save your life (just don't drink it!) and I believe every home should have 1-2 bottles on hand as well as taking one with you out into the wilds, should you ever go there.But! treat it like fuel/gasoline, it is highly flammable. This is an incredible addition to any home, to call it simply cologne can never do it justice. I'm more than impressed, I'm truly grateful someone, somewhere out there is committed to doing something right for a change.

This review references the short, green, glass bottle pictured above. I have enjoyed wearing this lavender cologne for many years. It is a no-nonsense lavender, sans frills, but that should not be interpreted as uninteresting or boring. On the contrary, ALP is one of THE most satisfying lavender fragrances I have ever used; and I have tried quite a few. Perfect office scent. Perfect for an outdoor event. Perfect if you want to smell great, but not challenge anyone else's olfactory senses. I choose to decant the juice from the splash bottle into a small 5ml atomizer. Sillage is small to moderate; projection is moderate and the longevity is 4-6 hours. It's been long-discontinued, so availability is limited and a 200ml bottle will test your wallet. I don't like to categorize scents by age-range, but this is scent more suited for a mature gentleman. Women certainly could wear it too. If you are fan of lavender, it may be worth searching for a bottle, before they are gone forever.

A sensible lavender, Agua Lavanda from the Spanish brand Puig is clear and refreshing, and feels terrific just out of the shower. There's nothing to boast about: it has its similarities to Atkinsons English Lavender, with the difference being that the bergamot plays a bit more of a role. Once again, we see both lavender and geranium supporting the lavender. While it is quite lovely, I think its value is for more the classics completist or the lavender completist. I am not one to scoff at some seeming redundancy in my collection, as I see each specimen I include in my "library" as a means of illustrating the great history of fragrance. One could say I am both the classics completist AND the lavender completist (blushes).

TOTALLY Unisex . . .and totally relaxing and wonderful! I am a complete Lavender junkie (I grow three varieties, wear pure lavender essential oil, etc.) and always having read that this is what The Chairman of the Board wore, I was always curious if it was super-masculine smelling or something I, too, could revel in. If you look at my signature fragrances, you will see, I like my OVERTLY FEMININE and SEXUAL perfumes, but yet, this scent is my second go-to (only behind Yardley's English Lavender) for "jeans and t-shirt", "office" or "bedtime". I absolutely Adore my ALP and think many women would love it, too! Try it Ladies! I don't think you will be disappointed if you love Lavender!

This is totally unisex. A refreshing clean, classic lavender fragance for the hottest days that suits equally well men and women. Yes, the longevity is very short, and the sillage is close to the skin but that ́s the way you need it when it ́s really hot outside and anyway when it ́s between 45-50Co outside, you don ́t really want something that clings onto you too long, or something sweet and potentially cloying. As you ́ll be having showers or getting into the pool as soon as you can, you will be reaplying often. That ́s the reason many Spanish fragances are so very light in sillage and longevity and come in bigger, cheaper bottles.

nice to see this added!! has to be one of the friendliest fragrances I have owned, very light and a great smelling . very non offensive, very affordable on ebay, I have seen some very large bottles of splash available at great prices. excellent lavender fragrance, I discovered it many years ago after reading that frank Sinatra used to wear this. it does not last a tremendous amount of time, I have some in a large atomizer for refreshing. beautiful soft fragrance, I always get compliments on this, one of those that you can apply liberally to your body. good job for including this one. I saw it reviewed on base notes before.

Agua Lavanda Puig, is a beautiful wooden and refreshing natural lavender with hints of citrus and moss. The cologne glass bottles are not available anymore but a big "colonia" splash bottle is available and it seems that many ppl are struggling to understand what that bottle is. NO....it is not a cologne in the traditional sense. YES... it is a colonia which is basically used as an after shower or after bath body splash. Please apply with both hands....bath in it...squirt it on you. It is great.

Don't let the inexpensive price fool you - this is a great unisex cologne, just as suitable for women as for men in my opinion. It comes in a plain bottle, but its an enormous bottle! The scent is relaxing and refreshing and has great longevity for a cologne. It's not listed in the notes, but I'm sure I can detect my beloved clary sage along with the lavender and bergamot. It's my favorite after bath splash, I always keep a bottle on hand!

An amazingly inexpensive scent (I believe I got my 25oz bottle for $15), sort of the men's equivalent to Jean Nate in terms of quality for price. A very refreshing, gentlemanly scent. Essentially this is a lavender soliflore, with some hints of green/citrus. Lasts about 2 hours on me with moderate sillage.

2ThumbsUP!! This may be uni but smells MANLY 2 me!! If you're meeting your girl's parents for the first time don't wear the recent new "metrosexual" fruity scents, show them your intentions are sincere when it comes to their little girl! Wear a manly OLD SCHOOL scent like AGUA LAVANDA!!

If you have a bit of trouble getting off to sleep. Spritz this on your chest and, maybe, the bed sheets. Works wonders for me especially on hot sultry nights. A gorgeous lavender cologne - lasts too.

go to blue eyes. com frank Sinatra memorabilia page, they sell aqua lavanda on that site. this has been around for a while .. gorgeous scent.

Current big bottle of cologne is nice and cheap, but does not last nor projects. It's a very intimate classic lavender splash. Lovable yet

I love Lavender and this is one of the most natural smelling lavenders I have tried. Gorgeous, clean, fresh. Excellent scent!

this was used to be the favorite scent of frank sinatra! love it too! It's fresh & spicy! A timeless classic cologne by puig!

Childhood memories come to mind seeing this bottle! My mother put this on me when we went out to restaurants with her parents or we went to visit my paternal grandmother and great-uncle as well as on special occasions when I had to dress smarter! I absolutely hated it as a child! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 We still have half a bottle of this in the family beach house,to be precise on a shelf in the guests bathroom downstairs! I have to say, now that I'm an adult, that it is way way nicer than I remembered, of course over 30 years of experience change things 🤣🤣🤣 People should be careful reviewing this one, there's a new one and it's been likely reformulated many times as this is a classic, a very old fragance and I believe the text that says it's from the 40s. When I tried it out of curiosity this September it definitely lasted way more tha the reviews stated here (of course that bottle may be over 20 years old, easily)).

This review is for the larger bottle of less concentrated splash fragrance. (Possibly the version in the smaller dark green bottle is more masculine, I have never tried it). This is a perfectly unisex fragrance, in my opinion. Lavender, in a fresh and green accord. Herby and delightfully fresh. Male and female family members also believe this is unisex. Here in southern Europe, lavender scents were very traditional for everyone and in my childhood we used to wear a lavender splash fragrance (not this one, a more floral one which has been discontinued). Also delightful to spray your bed with. The bath gel and the soap smell lovely as well. Does not last very long, maybe 1-2h.

Photorealistic lavender with some citrus on top, very green and rather unisex but may not appeal to a younger crowd. I got the large plastic bottle and decanted it into a couple 100ml glass spray bottles. One of them stays in my car in case I need to freshen up on the go, I also use it to spray my car seats to keep the place smelling nice. The other glass bottle I keep in my room to spray on pillows or wear to bed if I want a cozy scent to sleep in. Very light, longevity is decent enough, and if you decant it you can bring a small bottle with you to top up on the scent as needed.

A real classic, cheap as chips and designed to be used liberally, Agua Lavanda is a perfect example of a relaxing feel good scent. The fact it has been around so long doesn't surprise me (I have the green splash bottle). Get the excellent (and beautifully priced) shower gel as well, it is a fragrance I love to put on after having a shower following a long day in a stuffy office. Longevity and silage are OK in my opinion, it is designed to refresh and invigorate, not last all day or be worn for formal occasions. Thank you Puig :)
