Lavender Water

Lavender Water is built around the smell of lavender blossoms grown in England, which D. R. Harris says gives the true scent of lavender fresh from the field. The house combines it with rose water, bergamot and just a trace of musk. It is also known as Old English Lavender Water. The fragrance stays close to its central idea. Lavender leads with an herbal, aromatic character, and the rose water, bergamot and musk round it into something softer. One wearer describes it as natural and simple, with a little coumarin and a few herbs around the main lavender and musk. Those extra impressions are not part of the brand's list, so they stay as context and not as added notes. The result is conventional and easy to understand: a direct lavender scent with a quiet musky base. The one detailed account calls it dependable and safe, which suits its restrained approach. It is likely to appeal to someone looking for a classic lavender water rather than a complex modern composition. The brand does not name seasons or occasions, and only one wearer has written about it in detail. Strength and trail are therefore left unassessed instead of being inferred from the word lasting in the brand's copy.
