Lavender & Coriander

Herbal, green and unique. This one is green, enticing, a bit masculine at first. This is really man/woman scent, and I noticed that performs differently than other perfumes from this collection,depending on the time of the day and chemistry changes of skin during day/night time. It shifts. I needed some time to get along with first sharpness of scent, but it leaves very beautiful, dusty and elegant lavender scent after one hour, and that sharpness becomes more mysterious. Those first sharp notes were kind of too masculine for me, but when they evaporate a little combination is excellent. Bottles for this whole collection are just absolutely gorgeous. Would not re-purchase it, I kind of blindly bought it on sale, but I`m glad I did and enjoyed wearing it. It has it`s own story, something I find all Diptyque and Jo Malone fragrances have and that is quality I really appreciate in a fragrance.

I like this a lot. This is my favourite from the Herb Garden range. It's sweet, sharp, green, fresh, lively and opens with an invigorating bloom of lavender and as it settles the coriander seeds emerge, cracked with that dry orangey hit. Nicely blended, herbal and aromatic and over all really well done. It could have more stamina (as with many JM perfumes) but it remains really pretty and sitting close to the skin it's intimate. It's a yes from me.

Oooh! So sharp and loud! I disliked it a lot, even though it looked lovely by the notes list. This is lavender overdose, and the coriander is so amplified on my skin that it turns it way too manly for me to wear. I can't complain though, I knew this cologne contained two different kind of lavender essential AND coriander, and I have a love-hate relationship with both. Now I definitely know I prefer them on the sweet side.

The coriander is interesting as when you boil coriander leaves it smells heaven, though juniper is a heavily woody one. Wormwood and sage in natural is a poison one. Tonka bean is not my friend. So. That march I did not visit JM at all.
