Last summer, I was in my friend’s wedding. For her bridal shower, she wanted to collect lavender in jars to place on the tables.
We traveled to a gorgeous lavender farm. It was absolutely breathtaking and the smell of the lavender was an olfactory journey that was divine. My fascination with lavender began there.
There is no calming scent like lavender. Lavender has a distinctive aroma which distinguishes itself from other scents. It is used most notably in candles, and soaps, but it has its place in fragrances.
Lavender Perfumes
Lavender is one of the most underrated notes in perfumes. Because of its mood-enhancing quality, it makes perfect sense to bottle that scent.
Lavender has many facets. It has many scent profiles – depending on the variety and the region the lavender grows in. While it’s traditionally used alongside other floral notes, the best lavender perfumes are infused with a wider array of notes like vanilla, and citruses.
