Suffolk Lavender

I wore this for the first time yesterday. Every now and then I caught the scent in the air and honestly didn't think it was me but the chap I was working with, I kept asking him if he was sure he was wearing what he said he was wearing because I kept getting a hit of Paloma Picasso EDP. Then I realised it was me. This perfume is really lovely. It's a perfect unisex and I am delighted to have bought some although I now wish I had a bigger bottle and not the 30mls I purchased. It's fresh but has staying power - I personally find you forego one for the other but this perfume is well balanced and I am super-impressed. I think this is an all year round perfume. I am a fan of lavender but in moderation and this hits the spot, it's not soapy on me or "old lady", I believe it's a modern and sophisticated take on lavender scents of yesteryear. Lovely and I highly recommend it.

My friend gave me a decant of this and I admittedly had it to the side, trying other things first. I was scared of the melon. The decant lid broke just as I was trying to decide what to wear, so I had 1mL in my hand as it leaked - what to do? I rubbed my hands together and ran it through my hair and lo and behold, I love it! My hands still smell mildly of it and can I just say: lavender who? What, where, how? BUT it does come softly, and leaves the same way it entered. Repeats itself every so often and you're always smelling that lightly aquatic melon and musk. Quite beautiful and exceedingly well done. Full bottle worthy imo/

I love this. It doesn't smell like I expect a lavender perfume to smell, but it does smell like lavender, if that makes sense--a Yardley toilet water or soapy lavender this is not. The fruitness gives it an almost over ripeness that I find very alluring. It doesn't project overy far, but it lasts and lasts.

I wouldn’t normally try any perfume that has lavender on the name, but was persuaded to give it a try by the lady in the S&B shop. This is not your typical lavender fragrance but is spicy & deep and works very well as a masculine fragrance. A very well crafted fragrance from this British perfume house at a very reasonable price too. Sadly now discontinued.

Just tried this today. At first spray, I really liked it. It was unusual, like a spicy kind of lavender. Not sure where that was coming from, maybe the incense note? So I liked it, but then it started to become cloying in my nose and made me feel kind of nauseous. It reminded me of the time I tried Rive Gauche and couldn't stand it and no amount of scrubbing would get it off my wrist! This wasn't quite as bad, but it definitely has staying power and I didn't want it to stay! After the initial spray, I didn't get much lavender at all, which might be why I didn't like it... Obviously incense notes aren't for me. I feel like I should like this, and I really wanted to because I love what the company is all about, using real flowers, fruits and spices, but I just didn't. Now Blood Oranges on the other hand..
