Frollino Lavanda

This is a unique and long-lasting creamy lavender scent! It's not medicinal smelling & that's another reason I like it so much. It's smooth and sweet. Smells really good!! Try out a sample if you're unsure! 🗣️📣 To @glittergalz: that was such a rude and mean comment. If you don't want to buy from Kyse, then move on. Many indie brands are just run by just 1 or 2 people, but that doesn't mean they're not a company & there's nothing wrong with that. I think Terri Bozzo is an amazing owner/perfumer to be able to make these great smelling fragrances for us, all while doing everything by herself! That's something to applaud! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The bottles and the labels are cute and just fine, but you don't have to shop with her if you don't want to. There's nothing unprofessional about Kyse Perfumes. If you look on Etsy, there are hundreds of indie fragrance brands that have similar bottles and labels. I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish by being so hateful, but you seem like you have some bigger issues going on if you're so angry about a perfume company not running things the way you think they should. You said you "hate" Kyse... That is a pretty strong emotion towards a perfume company, especially since you didn't say she was rude to you or anything justifying hatred. You were trying to make Kyse look bad, but you're just showing the world your inner rage. I truly hope you seek help and can find some peace in your life. If you want to try to make things right, I suggest you delete your comment or edit it to an actual review where you can express your unhappiness in a more respectful way.

You're on a tour of the Provençal lavender fields and you stop over at a quaint little town for a quick shopping break. It's the worst heat wave the countryside has seen in a decade and you are dying for something cool and sweet. While everyone else is cramming their bags full of knick-knacks, you trek (even 5 feet is a trek) towards the one ice cream stand. Two scoops, s'il vous plaît: one of your favorite, salted caramel, and one lavender, on a cone, please. Oh, and a can of Coca Zero. You hand over your sweat-drenched 5 euro bill. Wait-wait. One lavender? It's too late, the server's already put the purple scoop on top. You ask yourself: did I make a mistake? Who in the world eats lavender ice cream? Am I having a heat stroke? You stuff the coke can under your armpit. desperate to cool down. Coke zero and ice cream? Am I twelve years old? And lavender ice cream? What if it tastes like soap? Why would I get lavender, for crying out loud? The ice cream's already melting. Now you have to take a bite... and you're in paradise. I'm not sure why this isn't marked as a summer fragrance. Every part of this reminds me of the luck I've had to spend every other summer in the south of France. Photorealistic, fresh-cut lavender turned into a simple syrup and combined with bracing beurre salé. Deeply gourmand - this is not a soapy, herbal, or overly-floral lavender, and it really does make sense with the sweet scents. The only thing that could make it better is a more prominent honey note. Great projection for a great price.

Lavender is a must have in my home. One of my all time favorite notes. I even make a homemade spritz out of organic Lavender essential oil for our sheets when it's bedtime. Every one of my kids ask for it when they can not sleep. Usually the only time you see lavender as "sweet" is perfumes blended with vanilla. Now Terri took the unexpected floral of sleep and tranquility and turned it into a scrumptious concoction. Some days it is butter cookies with caramel drizzle and a dash of lavender. Other days it is luscious lavender in all its glory, with a side of macaroons and vanilla latte. Unfortunately, I can not wear it often in our desert summer heat. But I wear it all the time once temps drop below 70. I love to wear this when it's cold outside and going for a walk. You can catch the scent in the breeze. The air is brisk but the sweet lavender warmth is heavenly! I plan to always have this beauty in my collection! My kids associate the smell of lavender with mom. When I wear this they say it's mom's pretty smell mixed with yummy cookies :)

Oh my goodness. This is like lavender/butter/salt crack. I do not understand how I like this, as I am not a huge lavender or gourmand fan. But I do like it. I like it more than anything I've purchased as of late, and that's saying something 'cause I bought some fancies :) However, I don't think I can leave the house with this on without looking like a lunatic (and smelling like a marauding baker) because I cannot stop burying my nose in my arm. It's glorious. So glorious that I immediately bought a full bottle and the matching body cream. And a full bottle of Rose Confit without prior testing for good measure because this is so good that one must be too, right? Hahaha! I think I need all of them. Oui Plus is next. This line is stupidly good and affordable! I think I need a back-up bottle just in case the house disappears (which happens with these smaller operations). My first impression was lavender popcorn (if such a beast exists) followed by the richest, butteriest cookie you can imagine. Buy it. Don't hesitate. You will love it.

I'm reading all these reviews and I'm really wondering if I have received a bad sample of this. I am definitely not smelling anything even remotely close to lavender, butter, caramel, vanilla, etc. I smell something almost like celery. It's AWFUL. Edit: ohhh, after letting this sit for about a month, I now smell what everyone is having about! This actually is turning out to be one that I'm going to need a FB of. I've noticed that with ALL of my Kyse samples. At first, they were weak, I couldn't really smell anything but just some general sweet notes in all of the samples I bought. I know it's important to let perfumes sit, especially indies. That is VERY MUCH what has happened with every sample from Kyse (except the bangers like Cacao Noisette and Miele, I smelled them right out of the mail, very strong) BUT allowing all of these to age a lil has dramatically changed how they smell and I'm really loving everything from this house! Edit again: this smells a lot like Burberry Brit Rhythm.

I love everything I've tried from this house. They are small, personal, sweet. I was impressed after my first order, and of course the hand written note was a nice touch . Not to mention Terri knows how to ship to Canada! and I am sure my fellow Canadians know what I mean ! Back to this perfume, the opening is fantastic, a very sweet and candied lavender. Soon after the popcorn , the butter and the caramel take over, the lavender loses ground, the freshness disappears, and everything turns into sugar cookies. The base doesn't work well on my skin, there is something earthy there that I am not crazy about . The good news is that when sprayed on clothes, the base doesn't come through and the development remains whiten the top and middle notes which are fantastic . Lasting power is ok, silage good . Unique and very indie style ! I can be sure, about 99.99 percent that when I wear this I will not bang into anyone else smelling like me! Recommended for the adventurous only .

Top notes: buttery caramel and lavender. The caramel smells like it's been drizzled all over a butter cookie. Nice and smooth lavender, not sharp, masculine, medicinal or like cleaning solution. I actually adore lavender, but many are hard to wear too often because I find them masculine and herbal. In Frollino Lavanda, the delicious buttery sugary caramel softens those sharp edges. There is a berry note, it's bright and more austere when you shove your wrist up your nose. If you let it waft around you, it's gentle and sweet, not cloying like some perfumes with fruity berry notes. I think the berry notes brighten the buttery caramel and keep it from getting too rich. This is like a symphony of notes, each taking their turns and each making sure the other is in gentle harmony and not upstaging the other. Another beauty by Terri. She is blessed with a fabulous gourmand nose.

This is SO, SO yummy! I can't stop sniffing my arm. This is a delectable gourmand fragrance. It smells like I imagine a French bakery might smell and I want to go to that bakery now and buy all their lavender cookies. This is a lavender fragrance, of course, but the real star here is the "cookie" - buttery shortbread. The shortbread is sprinkled with lavender sugar, and the lavender just dances on top of the cookie but never overwhelms it. This is my favorite of Terri Bozzo's house for sure. She makes some very interesting gourmands - the Bois de Santal is straight up savory. I love to layer it with amber paste. Back to Frollino Lavande - this is such a joy to wear. The only problem is that it makes me crave this mythical lavender cookie that probably only exists in my imagination. But, oh, what a cookie!

Lavender, blackberry and buttery BUTTERY shortbread cookie. The butter also smells like there's a touch of salt? The lavender has a note that reminds me of tea, so this scent calls up the feeling of a tea party with tiny cakes. Despite the extremely gourmand butter cookie, this scent isn't super sweet or overdone. I absolutely love the lavender herbal in this and wish there were more balanced herbal gourmands and more scents with co2 butter! And despite the voted notes, I actually get a lot of the blackberry note in this.

These comments below on Kyse Perfumes are actually mean / not nice. We as consumers NEED to do better at being patient and understanding of small businesses and their owners. Especially indie and women owned brands. Terri (owner of Kyse) has always been EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL whenever I or the people I know have purchased and or reached out to her, when we couldn’t. No business is PERFECT, let’s not try to be unkind to those that have stayed true, for so long. Kyse being one of them.

I absolutely hate lavender but I am in love with this!!! How is this even possible!? And her new perfume (not in data base) Oui Plus is amazing! It smells like smores!!! :)

Love this one the most. I have tried all of her scents and there are two others that really move me but this is the best, just yummy and very affordable. Bravo

Smells like a delicious lavender and berry jam on top of a sugar cookie , sweet and addictive. One of my favorites of the line .

At first sniff, Frollino Lavanda might be the most outrageous and most delicious out of Kyse's big range of outrageous, delicious scents. Sniffed from the bottle, it's pure butter, sugary and creamy and greasy, and altogether wonderful. There's only a hint of lavender, which is a nice contrast. Encountered in a kitchen, this scent would be downright irresistible. Which brings us to my first concern: do I really want to smell like even the most delicious scent coming from a kitchen? Self-knowledge gives me the answer to that question: yes, sometimes I really do - but probably not in public! I can imagine wearing this around the house with great satisfaction from time to time, though, at least in the colder seasons. But then there's my second concern, and this one's worse: on my skin, that delicious buttery lavender scent is overpowered almost straight away by my nemesis note caramel. All I get is five minutes in buttery cookie gourmand heaven, and then that dreaded way almost any fragrance with even a modest caramel note develops on my skin starts to make itself known: the scent becomes smokier and smokier, not too bad at first, but soon enough I get more barbecue than biscuit. So I guess my cosy winter nights at home won't smell like Frollino Lavanda after all, and I'll just have to sniff my sample from time to time to get my fix - too bad!

Wow, I never imagined lavender could be this foody. I was expecting foody to some degree from the reviews, but I'm still surprised. The lavender is most prominent in the top and it's a natural, pure smelling lavender. It's fresh and herbal and very close to lavender eo of high quality. It is soon joined by a very rich, oily butter. The butter is thick and yellow made of full cream. Vanilla joins in the end of the middle and it's the same vanilla you find in Un Bois Vanille by Serge Lutens. In fact, I found the drydown close to the Un Bois Vanille, but sweeter with a soft, subdued lavender and a bright, nonsweet berry note. This smells more like a dessert than a perfume. It may be one of the truest gourmands I have ever smelled. I do not feel like I'm wearing a perfume at all. I feel like I'm sitting in a kitchen while dessert is coming out of the oven. I think even if you dislike lavender you might enjoy this if you're a gourmand lover. If you're a lavender fanatic and looking for a strong lavender this might be too subdued for you. If you love lavender, but have a big sweet tooth, this is for you.

Frollino Lavanda marks the third entry from Kyse Perfumes I've tried this week that pairs florals with gourmands, after Sucre et Fleurs and Confit de Rose, and it's similarly interesting though it doesn't work quite as well on me as the other two. Certainly lavender is obvious, but of the various listed gourmand notes, I get mostly butter and sugar, a sort of generic, creamy sweetness that isn't really characteristically vanilla or caramel, and perhaps a hint of the blackberry on the side. Neither the lavender nor blackberry yield any sharpness, as it's very agreeable and not all that sharp around the edges. The gourmand bar is set pretty high for Kyse, and it's only in that respect that I'm not blown away by it. It's creamy and agreeable, just not quite as alluring and addictive as its kin. Unisex, a decent performer, and a typically superb Kyse value of $49 for 60ml, this is certainly an interesting one to try. I only find it a little less interesting than, say, Sucre et Fleurs, or even Confit de Rose, but I imagine some might prefer this to either of those two. 6 out of 10

I really wanted to love this instantly but this fragrance needs some time to show itself for the demure and also bold lady that it is. It is definitely sweet but has a bite to it that if you aren't bold enough to carry this scent could end up wearing you out. I think the edge is coming from the use of beeswax instead of honey. It is feminine but in a quiet and at the same time theatrical way. This scent takes center stage from the first spray but lights just aren't quite turned up all the way. I personally couldn't really appreciate this right out of the bottle so I married it with Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford and the combination is quite magical. I also think mixing it with a another scent that had a stronger honey note could work wonders as well. I am not saying the this scent can't be worn as is I just couldn't comfortably pull it off.

On my skin, this smells just like lavender shortbread. Initially, the lavender note is strong and herbal but that quickly settles into a sweet, buttery lavender. It is a warm, delectable scent- truly reminiscent of lavender shortbread or some type of lavender pastry. I didn't pick up any notes of blackberry or beeswax. In addition to the lavender and butter, I get vanilla, sugar, and some caramel. Overall, it is a well-rounded buttery lavender fragrance that sits close to the skin. I was really hoping for moderate to heavy sillage! The longevity is good, as it does last at least 7 hours on my skin. I would feel totally confident wearing this in public, even though others would not. I don't think it's an eccentric fragrance- just a light gourmand. It is unique though and I don't have any other fragrances like it.

This is rich, thick and gourmand in the truest sense of the word. Literally a scent you can taste. It is in all honesty a little bakery in a bottle. I think it works astoundingly well for what it is, it's interesting and unique without being too candle-esque -but it certainly does veer into that territory. I think it's a bit too thick for it's own good and really overwhelms you -it's impossible to imagine anything but biscuits when smelling this- which leads me to believe it would be better suited as a "layering" fragrance, complimented by additional soft floral notes to calm the butter notes down. Overall, I really enjoy it but I do this this is less of a lavender scent and more of a butter scent. Very interested in trying more from the perfume house. 6-6.5/10

Instead of lavender, I'm getting lots of the "baked goods" accord in this - he same one you get in most candles, wax melts, or room scents that are supposed to smell like something fresh or of the oven. Those always smelled unnatural to me. I can't say this smells one bit like actual butter and sugar, either (and I love me some good homemade buttercream). So, I'm still undecided on whether I like this one or not.
