Eau de la Recolte Bleue (for women)

although I do not like lavender at all, the note in it is subtle, and mixes very well with the other notes..I find it refreshing to wear on a warm day, the green notes come through really fast and they are soo nice....on those days where you want notes of freshness and nature to surround you/..true the staying power isnt great, but i dont mind reapplying a few times a day!! a scent that makes me happy! /

I would like to add that part of what makes this fragrance so amazing to me is that it is actually a lot more complex and interesting than the notes indicated here. I find that the various notes, though they mingle harmoniously, really comes at me at different times (and different directions!) so that one moment I detect more of the juicy peach but another moment I am soothed more by the lavender, and another moment I'm trying to pinpoint that intriguing something else that I can't quite identify. And to a friend I I've just walked by I've left a trail of bergamot freshness that somehow manages to resemble clean, cool, flower-scented sea breeze.

I've even had friends point out the multifaceted nature of this fragrance to me. It's like this fragrance has many sides to its personality, but in the end it still has one unified quality that makes it identifiable and unique.

I think to say that this is purely a lavendar scent doesn't quite do justice to it. I smell a lot of crisp, clean bergamot, which is not mentioned in the description here (but which is mentioned on the L'Occitane homepage) and a lush, juicy -- but not too sweet -- peach note. There is something about this fragrance that is just so fresh and sparkling and enticing and yet also gentle & soothing at the same time! I keep smelling my own wrists when I have this on and I often put it on myself before I go to bed because it is just so comforting.

The first time I smelled this was on a lady who worked in the same building as my office and every time she walked by me I would smell this most heavenly and delicious scent. Finally I had to ask her what she was wearing so I can go and get a bottle of the stuff for myself. Now recently, a friend of mine who wasn't really into perfumes smelled this fragrance on me and it led her to go check it out at L'Occitane. And now she's addicted to perfume -- and it all started with this scent!

The one down side to this fragrance is the weak staying power. I have to reapply at least a couple of times or more throughout the day as well as apply liberally (and still it never overpowers). But for me it's worth the trouble of carrying the long & clunky bottle around in my purse because I'm just so in love with this scent. It's still one of my top two most favourites even though I've gone on to discover over 10 other new perfumes since this one.

Very fresh, sharp and bright lavander scent. Very modern perfume, proving that lavander can be versatile. Perfect for summer time or for spraying on your pillow for a good nights sleep. very relaxing, bring a soothing effect to the wearer.On my skin the lavander and green notes take center stage. Lovely drydown.
