Lavanda d'Oriente

A rich, sparkling and slightly sour lavender with a hint of spices that seem to reflect the variety of sensations that one has when smelling tamarind or turmeric root. It is a distinctly non-French lavender that hovers between herbal and amber, but doesn't quite fall on either side. It's very well suited to a male profile, but could easily be worn by a woman as well. Roberto Dario is an artist with lavender and he uses it to it's fully sour and acidic advantage here, bringing out a glowing quality that is both chilled violet and warm resin at the same time. Fascinating study in opposites.
