Geo. F. Trumper Lavender Water is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1898. Lavender Water opens with Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, Sage, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Geo. F. Trumper's Lavender Water carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its natural, clean lavender profile makes it suitable for casual wear or as an unobtrusive office scent. However, its historical character and lack of broad appeal might not make it the best choice for formal engagements or active situations.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This is a grand old dame of lavender fragrances, kicking off with the immediate, bracing hit of pure, earthy lavender, accented by a fresh, almost pungent spearmint. As it settles, the herbaceous sage and a subtle touch of patchouli emerge, grounding the florals. The dry-down unfurls a mossy, woody base of oakmoss and sandalwood, giving it an antique, dry, almost dusty character, like a stroll through a formal Victorian garden.
