Amazing Grace Lavender

Truthfully, I’ve never been a fan of the Amazing Grace franchise in the past; too much of the whole soap-and-water-clean vibes in every. Single. One. And I so wanted to love the rose editions, but nope, too much soap. THIS, on the other hand, is WONDERFUL with my body chemistry. Historically I do not do well with citrus fragrances (D&G Light Blue is acrid and vile on me, as is Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche). This is a citrusy scent that I can finally wear. The lavender is elusive but peeks out from time to time, just enough to catch a whiff here and there, and the grapefruit, pepper, and jasmine are really harmonious together. Having said all of that, it’s an unusual fragrance and I wouldn’t recommend it as a blind buy, but I would recommend giving it a chance. It’s very pretty without being overtly girly and is fresh and bright.

Very subtle, calming, almost linear scent. 90% lavender with a touch of lily of the valley and musk. It is a natural, realistic lavender, which I haven't found in many other fragrances. I don't pick up on any other notes individually. Likable and safe for a pleasant spring day, or good for a European vacation. It brought my mind right back to France even though I haven't been in over a decade. Out of the scents I've tried from this line (original Amazing Grace, Fresh Cream, and this), this is my personal favorite. Some might consider this a basic scent, but I haven't come across anything else quite like it. It takes common notes and does them exceptionally well. A definite "love" for me - this really boosted my mood!

Just ordered this from QVC in a trio of body wash, firming body lotion, both are 32oz. and a 120ml bottle of eau de toilette. This is a great deal! I get a really soft lavender with citrus in the opening. It does get sweeter in the dry down. It’s really nice! I’m pleasantly surprised. I happen to love lavender in my scents. This is definitely a softer type of scent that I’m sure with turn into a skin scent quickly but that’s ok because I work in healthcare and these types of scents are perfect.

I am always surprised by how pretty this is. It is slightly sweet. I definitely notice juicy grapefruit and rhubarb on my skin. And the lavender is soft and delicate not medicinal - thank goodness. Someone mentioned that this is a European vacation in a bottle. I agree. The countryside for sure. My only complaint. I wish the bottle was as pretty as the juice inside. I took removed the label to display it more simply in my collection.

Simple, fresh, and calming lavender. The lavender is the most prominent scent, and the others really just hang out in the background to enhance it and add just a bit of complexity. I would love this perfume if it had any staying power whatsoever... No one (including myself) could smell this perfume after about an hour of wear. You'll have to over-spray or apply to clothes if you really want it to last.
