Woods of Windsor Lavender is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1974. Lavender opens with Mandarin and Eucalyptus, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Neroli, Patchouli, and Chamomile. Woods of Windsor's Lavender carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A classic English lavender that's perfectly lovely, but the modern formulation's longevity issues make it better suited for a quick, personal refresh or a luxurious room spray than an all-day fragrance. Vintage versions fair better, but good luck finding them.

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
Also Works:
Summer Fall Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and clean aromatic profile makes it suitable for casual wear or as a post-sport freshen-up. The poor longevity of current versions means it’s not really suited for date nights or formal events, where you'd want something more enduring, although its subtlety could work for an office environment if reapplied.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Imagine a breath of fresh air on a breezy English countryside morning. This scent opens with a burst of bright, camphor-like lavender, lifted by a hint of zesty mandarin and the bracing coolness of eucalyptus. As it settles, the aromatic heart deepens with earthy patchouli and a touch of powdery musk, while calming chamomile and delicate neroli add a refined, slightly soapy softness to the drydown. It’s a clean and natural-smelling lavender experience, pastoral in its charm.
