Valensole Lavender

Valensole Lavender, released by Alfred Dunhill in 2020 and composed by Jérôme di Marino, is a spicy, aromatic lavender for men. Spice leads, wood and aromatic accords follow strongly, and lighter amber and citrus touches complete it.

Lemon opens with a bright, clean citrus, and sage adds a herbal, slightly earthy freshness. Lavender soon takes centre stage, bringing its familiar clean, floral and aromatic character, evoking open lavender fields, as the name suggests. Cardamom and nutmeg add a warm, gently sweet spice, and saffron a leathery, honeyed note. In the base, guaiac wood gives a smoky, slightly sweet woodiness, vetiver an earthy dryness, and amberwood a warm, radiant glow.

The overall feel is refined and comforting, suited to the office, smart casual occasions and cooler days. Men who enjoy lavender in a warm, spiced, woody setting should find it an elegant and versatile choice.
