Lavender Tea No. 362

I bought this one unsniffed, just based on the notes, and ended up loving it. It is sort of a clean spicy scent. I can't really smell the tea in it, and really don't get vanilla at all. But I think that is what keeps it from being sharp. It is just a really nice scent that I think would be great for both men and women.

It is a light and soft perfume. when you want a soothing perfume, it is. If you are in a good mood, it fits for a laid-back, sunny afternoon.

I thought this one was pretty awful. A brief burst, gone by next breath, of alcohol based lavender. Then nothing but an almost scentless mild detergent or shampoo smell. No tea notes at all, either. I will probably hand this off to Goodwill. Most of my blind buys turn out fine, but this was a waste, at any price. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Fresh plain alcohol smells better.

I love lavender and tea but this perfume is a miss for me. A mix of arden beauty with a generic man fougere. No real lavender. Meh.

How did I miss reviewing this? This is one of the scents that brings me big compliments. It's a professional smell, clean like a doctors new office, intelligent, educated, feminine, cheerful, fun loving and motherly. This is really nice, aromatic. It must be the lavender that's doing it for me. I agree with aromatherapy for sure! I smell no vanilla, and that's just fine with me! Soothing is a great descriptive word also for this, but I don't see it being unisex. This a favorite for myself, and others around me! If you love heavy vanilla, spicy scents, this might not be for you. I've had mine for a long time, it stays fresh as the day I got it. Money well spent because it lasts a good long time and leaves anyone in your wake quite happy! If people were puppies, their tales would be wagging!
