Shay & Blue London Suffolk Lavender is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Julie Massé. Suffolk Lavender opens with Lavender, settles into a heart of Incense and Melon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Pine, and Praline. Shay & Blue London's Suffolk Lavender carries an Acquired verdict, a lavender-led wear.

This isn't your nan's lavender - it's a modern, slightly spicy, and surprisingly fruity twist on a classic. It’s got staying power but keeps things mellow, landing it squarely in 'easy crowd-pleaser' territory, though some find the melon a bit much.

About

Suffolk Lavender opens with a fresh, aromatic burst of lavender, far from soapy. This quickly mellows, giving way to an unexpected, subtly aquatic melon note that keeps things light. As it settles, a warm, ambery incense emerges, softly spiced, underscored by a whisper of earthy pine and a creamy praline sweetness, all cushioned by a clean musk. It’s a sophisticated and rounded take on a familiar herb.
