Eau de Lavande Annick Goutal for women and men

When I think of lavender, I think of that soothing scent that makes you sleepy, or of lavender scented soaps in elderly people's bathrooms. Well, believe it or not, Eau de Lavande makes me think of none of those things, in fact I find it quite the opposite; exotic and sensual.

Well if this fragrance put me to sleep I'd be very disappointed because I'd want to stay awake to see just what its sexiness may bring me in the middle of the night. This is not just a lavender based scent, but a rather spicy composition with hints of powdery and delectable vanilla.

Unisex it most definitely is. A smooth, classy yet rich and unique fragrance with all the qualities I admire in my scents. It's perfect. Absolutely perfect. Herbaceous yet delicious lavender, done just right.

Not only does it smell wonderful on the skin, but its the kind of scent you want to smell everywhere. They should make it into a room spray as well. Eau de Lavande reminds me of the Les Orientalistes range by the same house, as I find this fragrance rather similar to that range's style and presentation.

I half expected this fragrance to be too masculine for me, however I'm wearing this scent now and I'm more inclined to say that it probably suits women better. The sillage is moderate, it comes and it goes, and I guess the same could be said about the lasting power.

It's very much like Guerlain's Jicky in some ways, so if those kind of scents appeal to you, Eau de Lavande should as well.

This is one of the most delicious scents that i have ever smelt, its amazing, rich, sensual, sofisticaded.. its a weird lavander, a natural and unusual lavander. just amazing, i really love this... a masterpiece from Goutal.. Amazing....

one of the loveliest scents ever--with lasting power of a fruit fly's life.

I would love to hear/read someones comment on this. It seems interesting!
