History

Lavender has been used in perfumery since ancient times, gaining prominence in the 19th century with the creation of fougere-type fragrances. The Lavender accord became a defining element in classic men's perfumery, especially after the introduction of Fougere Royale in 1882. Its enduring popularity is linked to its association with cleanliness and its ability to evoke Mediterranean landscapes.

In Perfumery

Perfumers use the Lavender accord as a key top and heart note, especially in fougere, aromatic, and some floral compositions. It is commonly paired with notes like geranium, bergamot, oakmoss, and coumarin to build structure and freshness. The accord provides a bridge between citrus openings and woody or mossy bases, enhancing both brightness and complexity.
