Lavande Eau de Parfum

Lavande Eau de Parfum from Molinard, released in 2018, is a warm lavender with a sweet, resinous base. It turns the herb into something cosy and gourmand rather than purely fresh.

The ingredient list reads as one accord. Lavender and clary sage give a clean, herbal and aromatic character. Hedione adds a transparent, airy floral glow. Coumarin and tonka bean bring a sweet, hay-like and almond warmth, while vanilla adds creaminess. Labdanum and benzoin provide a rich, resinous amber depth, and patchouli an earthy, woody foundation.

The profile points to a comforting, slightly sweet lavender. Worn by anyone, it would suit cool days, relaxed evenings and the office, for someone who loves lavender but prefers it warm and enveloping, closer to an amber fougère than a sharp cologne. It is likely to feel calm and soothing rather than bracing.
