Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oxford & Cambridge
This is a clean, natural lavender done right, polarising only on performance rather than the scent itself. It's a proper aromatic breath of fresh air that's been begging for a full-throttle EDP since day one.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Lavender Water
If you came for straight-up, no-nonsense lavender, then you've found your jam. It's a proper, old-school lavender blast - a bit sharp, a bit dusty, and quite tenacious. You'll either love its natural, unadulterated charm or find it a bit too much like Vapo-Rub.

Its soft projection and calming lavender-mint profile make it perfectly suited for office wear, not to mention a great casual go-to. While elegant enough, its laid-back nature and green-herbal freshness might not fit the most formal events, but it's sporty and versatile enough for most other settings.

Casual
Also Works:
