Lavande Francaise
Lavande Francaise by Nishane is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lavender, bergamot and pimento, moves into iris, musk and lily of the valley and dries down to tonka bean, patchouli and amber. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
