Laverne I Was Here is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. I Was Here opens with Rosewood and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cedar and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Laverne's I Was Here carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A beast mode lavender-wood bomb with some serious heft. While many rave about its similarity to Alexandria II and its stellar performance, be warned: some find the lavender overpowering and the balance a bit off, with performance being a point of contention. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

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.

Its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, coupled with its intense woody and oud notes, make it a bit much for the office. However, it's perfect for evening dates and formal events where its powerful presence can truly shine, especially in colder weather. Casual wear is possible, but it commands attention.

About

Opens with an assertive, almost sharp blast of lavender, quickly joined by the dry, elegant touch of rosewood. As it settles, a robust cedar heart emerges, intertwined with a subtle rose that peeks through the woods. The base anchors this powerhouse with a rich blend of musk, warm amber, creamy sandalwood, and a noticeable oud that deepens into a long-lasting, oriental woody drydown.
