Rose Lavande

So good. And so unexpected. From the simple name, I didn't expect much. The opening is glorious peony than rose joins in. There is pear in notes, but sometimes it smells to me more like lychee. Well, it's certainly fruity and that makes rose shine even more. It's beautifully layered and the texture is decadent. Creamy and luscious. Opulent. I would buy body cream of this in the heartbeat, it's intoxicating. Just right amount of lavender makes rose, who is the star of this fragrance, even more interesting. That touch of lavender is dry and aromatic, almost peppery. The violet leaf brings this lovely airiness and transparency, otherwise the composition might have been a bit thick and potentially grandmotherly. It's so simple, witty and extremely well done. I tried edp on those wet little tissus that don't even bother me anymore, they are more cost effective than sample vials, I suppose. And now they are even doing it in perfume concentration. I can't help myself, I love what they do; honest, accessible perfumes with high quality ingredients. Of course, I want a bottle! Few months later... I just received my bottle and this stuff is even better than I remember. Sometimes, over time, we tend to embellish things we liked and I'am so happy that was not the case. There is also great number of perfumes that behave very differently in different temperature, humidity, etc. But this one is just as gorgeous in winter as in summer. I also ordered hand cream, the only body care available. If you have normal skin, you will be perfectly happy with it but for my demanding skin it's too thin. It still smells fabulous. Rose Lavande is one of the best and unique rose interpretations I have ever encountered.

Rose Lavande Parfum (gold bottle) enchanted me and took me by surprise. My first experience with it was a sample towelette that came in the mail with the Fragonard catalogue. I love anything rose, but I initially ignored this one because of the lavender presence. While I love lavender oil at bedtime for its calming effects, I do find it a bit medicinal and camphorous at times. So, I swabbed my chest down with the sample right before bed, giving myself something to smell as I drifted off to sleep and I was enveloped by the most beautiful warm, woodsy, creamy rose edged with lavender. I could smell the slightly camphorous quality to it, but it was subtle and didn't interfere with the sweetness of the perfume. I wanted more! The next day, I ordered the gold aluminum Rose Lavande perfume. My slight obsession started with this being a calming perfume to wear around my home or at bedtime, but the more I wore it, the more it grew on me. Soon after, I kept wearing it and appreciating more facets of it: the sophisticated sillage that it radiated at arm's length and the endurance of it. With this being winter, I wear a wool scarf a lot and Rose Lavande has thoroughly permeated it, still fragrant days later. This is a very natural perfume with a lot of real flower essences. It's a very realistic rose and lavender perfume and an easy one to love, if you're a fan of classic florals, especially French ones. Not even a month later, and I'm a third of way through my first 60mL bottle. Rose Lavande is such an amazing and underrated beauty.

I have the 60 mL gold aluminum bottle of this and must say it is gorgeous. Stunningly pretty and simple and clean and feminine. The rose and lavender accords with a bit of tonka creamy sweetness are perfectly balanced. I also have Delina and do not find it to be similar. Rose Lavande is softer, rounder, and less punchy. I find Rose Lavande to be perfect in warm weather and also at bedtime. It is not the easiest to find in the US, so I blind bought this and Jasmin Perle de The from Fragonard. Neither are complicated or challenging, but they are clearly well made and perfect for spring and summer. I also love how easy they are to throw in my bag or luggage. I definitely appreciate the sustainable packaging and wish that Middle Eastern perfume houses would take a lesson from the Fragonard playbook in this regard. Both Rose Lavande and Jasmin Perle de The exceeded my expectations and make me want to explore more from this house.

I have a pure perfume version in the golden aluminum bottle. It's such a pure, pleasant, feel-good perfume. If the fragrance was a perfume, it would be a kind, smiling, caring young woman, who gives you flowers from her wild garden. It evokes a meadow, afternoon sun, free time, spring or summer time - but it can be worn at any season, at any time. It's very well blended. It is just enough lavender to make justice to the perfume's name, but not too much. By the way, it is a great offer from Fragonard - perfumes in aluminum bottles, from 15 to 120ml, in perfume! concentration. My 30ml bottle is small, weighs almost nothing, is very practical for travel. A perfume in aluminum bottles can be stored for ages, it does not expire.

Absolutely gorgeous. An amazing rose-peony-lavender scent, which gets a bit sweeter and deeper as it dries down (due to tonka). Rose Lavande is very unique - I'm a rose lover and have tried a ton of roses, but I haven't smelled anything like this. I'm normally not a massive lavender fan (such as in Mon Guerlain or Libre), but this doesn't smell close to those. I love the lavender here, it adds uniqueness and freshness. Performance-wise, it's beast mode. 2 sprays are enough for it to project for hours. I can't believe the quality of this scent for the very affordable price tag. Fragonard, in general, is a tremendous brand that produces high-quality perfumes and doesn't charge crazy prices like some other niche brands.
