Lavender & Wool

Personally, I would call this fragrance Chocolate & Wool. It opens up with this photorealistic dark chocolate note. It is bitter, dark, yet smooth. This chocolate is accompanied by the wool note, not sure where it comes from, but I definitely get it. It kind of feels like an old, a bit dusty wool, but it's comforting and cozy. The lavender is more in the background, but it gives that aromatic, refreshing and sophisticated feel to it. There is some balsam fir too, which is quite weak, but brings that wood cabin smell into the composition. The longevity is at least 10 hours with strong projection which subsides after about 4-5 hours, then it projects moderately. Got to say, I love this one and I am looking forward to owning a bottle at some point in the future. Definitely get some samples, it might not be for everyone. Linda herself sends them out for free, so I recommend contacting her and trying it for yourselves.

I find this one stunning and unique. Blindbought after reading the reviews here. It is what I was expecting - but better! Lavender and chocolate. Cozy, like a warm hug. Not "sexy", more of a comforting and kind scent. But not boring! It is not cloyingly sweet or a gourmand. The opening is beautiful and uplifting. Although it has lavender I think its more feminine leaning. I would say longevity and sillage is moderate. Perfect for the colder seasons. I am planning to cocoon in this during the autumn and winter.

Sadly, most of Landenbergs scents does not suit me. But this one does! This is the lobby of a luxury hotel in a box. It make me imagine myself walking into a lounge with wooden panels while shaking rain from my coat. Sitting down, relaxing, taking something good to drink. Comforting and elegant! Lovely! The scent is a warm lavendel with a touch of black pepper and chocolate. Something more is also there to find, making it fresh. This is a good one!

I bought this last spring, was super impressed but put it away until December (now). This is one of the most glorious winter perfumes I’ve ever smelled. I prefer to shower in it before leaving in the morning- it’s like a sweater and the dry down is heavenly, lasting 8-10 hours. I can’t think of anything it’s similar to- totally unique, dense, elegant and clever. The most elegant lavender....and the chocolate.... Wow.

I smell what Linda Landenberg wanted to express. She writes about it on the packaging. After a frosty walk in the forest you come home into a cozy warm atmosphere. There it smells of chocolate and hot milk. And you still have the scent of lavender in your hair. All this in a completely natural way, a synthetic breath does not reach me in a second. It's beautiful!
