Now we have a major trend, with major pillar fragrances such as 2019 YSL Libre (the name inspired by the little known former vintage called Eau Libre, which fascinatingly launched as a shared fragrance) and Guerlain's Mon Guerlain (2017) which was so successful - or designed so from the start - that it already boasts four variations of the original Eau de Parfum formula: the Eau de Toilette, the Eau de Parfum Intense, Mon Guerlain Florale and Mon Guerlain Bloom of Rose, plus a couple of limited editions. Wow! Further examining the contemporary take on lavender aimed mainly at women, such as Chanel's Jersey from their Les Exclusifs range, one can see how decades of musk use in fragrance has spoiled us into mistaking the scent of "clean" for something else entirely. They smell clean and comfy, but not because of the lavender per se, it's because of the musks and the sweeter elements! Nowadays, it is the vanillic and licorice nuanced lavenders which are featured in any product that aims to appeal to women or women buying for babies and children. To wit, most children's products for the bath and body which claim "relaxing lavender" are mostly featuring a blend of musk with vanilla and abstract notes of extraterrestrial flowers grown on the moon; lily of the valley, jasmine and delicate, unreal roses. And this explains the divide that lavender produces; some people love the medicinal properties they have come to know from real lavender, some people abhor them, confused by the artificial construct that is advertised as "lavender" but really isn't. Look at the fragrance family:“Lavender plays well with many other ingredients including flowers, woods, herbs, resins, vanilla, and fruity notes,” says Carlo. To find the right blend for you, seek out a lavender perfume that’s laced with the notes that you’re usually drawn to. Ahmed Al Maghribi – Oud Lavender. Този специален аромат, ще ви плени с вълшебните си съставки: първокласен ууд, лавандула и масло от агарово дърво и ще ви пренесе в магичния свят на Ориента.
Badee Al Oud (Oud for Glory) Perfume / Eau De Parfum by Lattafa (Inspired by Initio – Oud for Greatness) We were completely blown away by this beautiful blend fromChloé that’s inspired by the perfumer’s memory of his motherwalking through the heat of the garden with lavender in her arms. Celebrating the Provencal flower in all its effervescent glory, this is the most realistic lavender scent we’ve come by. Delicate, fresh, and sunny – its mood-boosting aroma is the perfect scent for summerand one we can imagine misting onto a linen white dress with a glass of palerosé in hand. There's a kind of vibe shift taking place in perfumery right now. As the seasons shift and we fully transition into autumn, so do our scents. Often, we swap out the floaty, floral fragrances of summer in favour of deeper, moodier notes to pair with the darker, cosier months. Ahmed Al Maghribi Perfumes first started as a hobby of its founder - Mr.Kafeel Ahmed. His passion for perfume making was so intense that it has evolved into being one of the most loved perfume brands in the region. During this 20 years plus journey, a lot of new fragrances have come into existence. However, the ones that they initially started with, are even today of key essence.
The base notes of Patchouli and Musk provide a solid foundation for the fragrance, enhancing its longevity and adding a touch of sensuality. The earthy, woody nuances of Patchouli complement the oud beautifully, while Musk adds a subtle, inviting sweetness. Badee Al Oud (Oud for Glory) Perfume / Eau De Parfum by Lattafa is a fragrance that pays homage to the greatness of oud, one of the most cherished and revered scents in perfumery. As our Lavender database section states: "Depending on the sort, lavender essential oil can have very sweet or distinctively sharp aroma. French lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), for example, has a sweet floral aroma while Dutch lavender (Lavandula intermedia) contains higher levels of camphor and other terpenes, having very strong aromatic and sharp odor. Essential oil extracted from Lavandula intermedia is named Lavandin. This hybrid lavender has completely different chemical and therapeutic properties, even though it finds its use in the perfume industry for its refreshing notes." If you’re after a scent that’s entirely unique and original, turn your attention to Music For A While from Frederic Malle. Unlike any other fragrance we’ve tested, this perfume will have you perplexed (in a good way, hopefully). Opening with a hefty hit of lavender and anise – it smells extremely overpowering at first and a little like soapy licorice. To be completely honest, we weren’t hooked at first sniff – but stay with it as this is a complex fragrance that really evolves on the skin. Next we have Rose, now if you’re looking for a usual Rose based scent this is not like the others you find in stores it carries an extra sweetness. This Oil exudes heavier sweet facets; sugar, dulce de leche with a typical rich fruit facet in the direction of raspberries accented with delicate floral tones
No wonder Mon Guerlain has such a successful course, as it was designed to be an almost identical relaunch of the already well received Mon Exclusif, a fragrance originally meant to become your very own by personalizing the bottle and the name label, but which became so very own to enough women that the company decided to sell it to all women, rendering it less...exclusive in the process. The British equivalent, where lavender grows but achingly pushed to its botanical extremities, Yardley's English Lavender (introduced in 1913), never dared to imply it was a scent for evening, even though it does exhibit a sip of bedtime cocoa. The British reinvigorated this Edwardian concept, by the way, in Lavandulaby Penhaligon's in 2002, a still-traditional lavender fragrance, but in a more soothing-to-the-ear British accent, as compared to the harsher tonalities of their Teutonic relative. These both serve as a retro-smelling reference which serves as to remind us how lavender as a concept has changed through the years.While taken very seriously in the Middle East, oud has only caught on in a big way in the UK in last few years. It is derived from the tropical agar tree, which is thought to originate in Assam in India. When the tree is infected by a mould known as Phialophora parasitica it reacts by producing a dense, dark and fragrant resin to protect itself. It is the resin-embedded heartwood of the tree that is the source of oud. Let yourself be charmed by the sparkling aromas of Ahmed Al Maghribi Oud Lavender. A special fragrance that will make you appreciate the following essences: Oud, oriental, floral, mukhallat. The house Ahmed Al Maghribi has accomplished the feat of making a quality aroma that is a concentrate of Oud, Lavender.
Dark, a very deep and powerful fragrance, could be perceived as slightly masculine but could also be great as a base when layering, adding something slightly sweeter to create a fresher feminene fragrance. A great winter scent, it has been kept for the colder days. Opens strong, very true to character. Metallic, rose/geranium with rich fruit notes both fresh and dried fruits. Subtle spice facets particularly green cardamom, cumin and a hint of saffron. Mellows into rose oil facets, slightly increased metallic/geranium sensation with more pronounced saffron highlight and warm cumin texture as it wears. Incense and resin notes; frankincense, myrrh and opoponax. The latter showing their true character much later than frankincense notes.The shape of its crystallized bottle will arouse in you the desire to seize it and to monopolize it. Once acquired, you'll never get tired of it. From the first use, you will feel the need to absorb these desirable and sublime scents. Seductive and attractive, Ahmed Al Maghribi Lavender Oud will increase the power of your presence as well as that of your entourage. Its oriental fragrances will delight everyone, no matter where you are. This fragrance opens with a captivating blend of Lavender, Saffron, and Nutmeg. Lavender provides a fresh and aromatic introduction, while Saffron and Nutmeg infuse the scent with warmth and complexity.
