Sadly one of the best lavender fragrances I have ever encountered is Tom Ford Lavendar Extreme. I don’t understand why it was discontinued but it’s just stunning. Only have a bit left in my bottle and I use it only for special occasions now.
I consider lavender to be unisex. I grow and harvest my own lavender and leave it in antique baskets around my house as well as make a blackberry lavender cake (I use it to turn into a simple syrup so it doesn’t taste “soapy”). I adore all things lavender especially the aroma
I wish Creed would bring back Aberdeen Lavendar. The combo of lavendar and lemon was amazing. Molinard Lavande is a great scent though, nice to spritz on a pillow before bed
Thanks for a great video! I love Chanel Jersey - no one ever talks about it! I’ve been using L’occitane Lavendre edt for years. Lavender is one of my favourite notes!
Lavender is completely unisex in its true form. What an amazing scent. I tend to wear masculine fragrances since the idea of gendered fragrances is absurdly outdated. I favor the notes in "masculine" fragrances over traditional "feminine" fragrances, and maybe I'm biased, but i think they're blended better.
My favorite lavendar is Gris Clair by Serge Lutens, although I do have an older bottle so I’m not sure if it changed. Also love Miller et Bertaux Spiritus land #2. 😊
Rehab is still my all time favorite fragrance out of thousands I’ve smelled. Diadem from Thameen is very similar and a great alternative with added frankincense note, which ironically you can achieve a similar result by layering Initio’s Magnetic blend 7 & Rehab.
I keep preaching about a recent discovery for me….. from Xerjoff. Beautiful barbershop lavender vibe. Casamorati Mefisto Gentiluomo, I think it’s astonishingly good.
The same is with rose, many guys think that rose is feminine likewise lavender is on the same boat but in my opinion both can b blended in to such a beautiful masculine fragrance spruce them with great oriental fragrances n see what an exquisite aroma is derived
To me, lavender is the scent of old men. Lavender (and rosemary) are part of a lot of old school European aftershaves and colognes (think of 4711 Cologne). And when I was young, a lot of older men put that on as an aftershave. But also a lot of women have put that on some towels in the summer to refresh themselves 😂
I have a lot of lavender growing in my garden. It's great for attracting pollinators and Monarch butterflies like to rest amid the leaves. I think we all have had lavender tea. I think it can be either masc or fem. I like it tempered with vanilla. That said, I don't care about male/female-targeted fragrances. I will wear anything I like, based on how it smells on me. Thanks for this list. I will put some of these on my list, especially the fougere versions.😊
I’d add Hermes Brin de Reglisse and Ormaie Le Passant to this great rundown. I tried Le Passant at the ZGO event and had to get 100 ml bottle. If you drink soda, a brand called Dry makes a lavender soda which is fantastic.
My favorite lavender fragrances are Lorenzo Villoresi Wild Lavender and the discontinued Lavandula from Penhaligon. They are true realistic lavender scents. Like a lavender oil almost. I also want to try the lavender scent from Santa Maria Novella in Florence.
i fall in love with lavander after the trip to Provence. So its definitely femine for me and its about warm sunsets, lavander coffee and ice cream, little fresh as Verdon and i am trying to find such parfume. I bought there one consist only of lavender oil and it was great) for now i found neo cologne lavender mist and floraiku flowers turn purple
Frankly agreat efforts goes in to making a video then ensuring the cintents are correct and no copyrights have been encroached in too and after that broadcasting the same we the viewers should seriously like and share these videos as they are not only informative but they r very educative especially to those who would like to start understanding the basics of the fragrant industry, from the bottom of my heart i thank you personally Sebastian for all the hard work u have invested in this God bless you
It’s quite interesting how varied the same note can be. Le Male Elixir and Naxos were both scrubbers for me, but I love the likes of Layton, LNdH, Argos’s Fall of Phaeton and Penhaligon’s Endymion.
Luna Rossa Ocean, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Burberry Goddess, Initio Paragon and Bond No.9 New Haarlem are all worth mentioning in this for great lavender prominent scents.
PMs Lavande Romaine works beautifully on my skin. I also would mention Scotch Lavander from Oriza L. Legrand. It is a very authentic take on Lavander with Tonka, Amber and Benzoin in the Base (by far my favourite).
I love lavender, it's my favorite herb. I love it in tea, pastries, and ice cream. Oddly enough, though, I don't have that many lavender-focused fragrances. I really want to try Molinard Lavande. That Maison Cravelli Absinthe Boreale sounds really interesting too. I love icy and metallic scents in the summer.
I really love your videos Sebastian ive been keeping notes on some of the greatest you've mentioned and I'll buy them when i can afford it i just enjoy you talking about fragrances. Thank u for your videos 😊
I've started to realise that lavander is a lovely of mine, it kind of snook up on me, iris is my first love but I've been realising that I love lavander too, Alexandria II from xerjoff is a really different take on it I call it "dirty lavender" with the palisandre rosewood and the oud but lavander is definitely a main player and I just love it
Hi Sebastian. I love Jersey, very cozy and comforting lavender. Music for a while is a weird one in combo with the pineapple, but I like it And the craziest lavender has to be MEM, what a beast!
I am a huge fan of Lavender and this is why Layton is my number 1 fragrance ever, but I think you missed AdP SANDALO (edp) which is really a lavender bomb...problem is lavender is used so much in home-cleaners that it ruined the experiance in fragrances...
I wish I could see at least on one lavender list at least a faint mention of Antiheros by ELDO. Yes, it’s by far the most known and popular from the house, yes, it’s been discontinued since forever but to me at least, it is probably the best lavender centred fragrance out there. Who knows, knows.
Thank you Sebastian for the great video....Lavender is one of my most favs That and Patchouli 😂😂😂 I used to spray Lavande de L'Occitane like there's no end But since they have stopped bringing to the US Ive been more conservative about it I love Santal 33, by Le Labo and would love Lavender 31....but yeah....if its too weak, its very disappointing I think based in the description of notes, I might enjoy Absynthe Best regards!
Beau de jour is really a nice barbershop scent. It’s got an interesting modern but classic smell. Unlike replica at the barbers, that just smells like cheap edge shaving gel foam.
Sartorial is a masterpiece and my favorite lavender scent! In regards to Lavande 31, I noticed that it's veeeery similar to Jo Malone's Silver Birch & Lavender. The Matcha also reminds me of Jo Malone's Fig & Lotus Flower. These two recent releases have me wondering if Le Labo is just making slightly more sophisticated versions of Jo Malone scents now.
Lavender is my favorite note, the Fougere is my favorite genre, and I think that lavender is the one masculine floral note. I don't like the lavender in Naxos. It's amped up and is obnoxious with the uber-sweet and strong honey. But some of my favorite lavender: Serge Lutens Gris Clair Creed Bois du Portugal Tom Ford Beau de Jour Houbigant Fougere Royale Yardley's English Lavender Amouage Bracken Man Czech & Speake Traditional Lavender Atkinson's Lavender on the Rocks Floris Elite MDCI Invasion Barbare YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme Chanel Boy
I understand that every lavender fragrance can’t be featured in this video but I’m quite surprised that Rabanne’s Phantom did not make it to this list. It’s a very prominent lavender in the top, mid and base note.
Excellent Video! Quite the eye opener. If you would ask me if I loved lavender, I would say I like it. I own 80% of these fragrances. I guess I love lavender!😂 Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
I'm still missing a good portion of those amazing lavender scents, haven't sniffed them yet, but I really enjoy Platinum Egoiste from Chanel, which is also a fragrance where the lavender has a good spotlight.
Naxos is always lauded for its tobacco but im glad you’re highlighting the lavendar because its what i really get from naxos the most! And i just love ittttt
I believe that eau noire (Dior) and masculin pluriel (mfk) deserve a spot in this top ten list. Both were created by Francis Kurkdjian. Guess he really knows his fougere!
💥💥💥Please watch my Iconic Colognes/Fragrances For Dads video here: ua-cam.com/video/S4YntDHsmNc/v-deo.html 💥💥💥
I see lavender, I click like
How much more proof do you need.? I can't believe the number of folks still staying with Drake. The delusional is real.
Omg me toi. I clicked like even before the video started playing.

Yes, please do an overview of Molton Brown. I have some knowledge on them but not a lot.
Good ol’ L’Occitan for me! Fresh, crisp, clean.
Thanks for a great video! I love Chanel Jersey - no one ever talks about it! I’ve been using L’occitane Lavendre edt for years. Lavender is one of my favourite notes!
Yes please a video on Molton Brown, indeed underrated. Thanks for this great video.
Sure thing! Will do. 😀
@@ThePerfumeGuy Great, thank you. 🙏🏾
Mancera Black Gold lavender and incense this is a amazing definitely signature scent worthy I love this fragrance
I love Layton and Naxos on a man😀!
Purple suede is my top one

I favor the notes in "masculine" fragrances over traditional "feminine" fragrances, and maybe I'm biased, but i think they're blended better.
L'Occitane Eau de Toilette is a great, natural smelling lavender frag that to me is very underrated, and inexpensive too!
Lavender is one of my favorite note for sure! 👍👍👍Nice video
Oh wow Sebastian thank you so much for this❤❤❤ have a wonderful weekend❤
My favorite lavendar is Gris Clair by Serge Lutens, although I do have an older bottle so I’m not sure if it changed. Also love Miller et Bertaux Spiritus land #2. 😊

I have TF Beau de Jour and I like it. To me it's an old school barber shop fragrance that I enjoy as an office scent.
Beau de jour is absolutely perfect love it
sooo good
Rimbaud is one of most realistic and most besutiful Lavender. At first it smells pure essence oil lavender but it will leave u a beautiful scent.
I keep preaching about a recent discovery for me….. from Xerjoff.
Beautiful barbershop lavender vibe.
Casamorati Mefisto Gentiluomo, I think it’s astonishingly good.
The same is with rose, many guys think that rose is feminine likewise lavender is on the same boat but in my opinion both can b blended in to such a beautiful masculine fragrance spruce them with great oriental fragrances n see what an exquisite aroma is derived
Weirdly for me (a man) rose is more wearable than lavender. I do like the modern takes of lavender though (rimbaud)
I have a lot of masculine fragrances with rose. Lyric Man, Porpora, Zino, Spice Must Flow, Rose Malaki. Mmmm.
To me, lavender is the scent of old men. Lavender (and rosemary) are part of a lot of old school European aftershaves and colognes (think of 4711 Cologne). And when I was young, a lot of older men put that on as an aftershave. But also a lot of women have put that on some towels in the summer to refresh themselves 😂
Just got Lavande 31. Truly hope my batch performs like a beast!

I love Invasion Barbare by MDCI, incredible to my nose with the lavender.
I am generally not a fan of lavender forward perfumes, but I adore YSL Libre.
Sebastian! You have forgotten the most amazing Lavender: Tom Daxon's Midnight Saffron! 💜
There is a French herb blend called Herbs De Provence with Lavender. I’ve made several savory dishes with it (usually chicken) and it is delicious!
I’d add Hermes Brin de Reglisse and Ormaie Le Passant to this great rundown. I tried Le Passant at the ZGO event and had to get 100 ml bottle. If you drink soda, a brand called Dry makes a lavender soda which is fantastic.
Brin de Reglisse is a favorite of mine, so good
The lavender in Sauvage Elixir is the real deal. Soooo good.
I love also the lavender in Music for a while Frederic Malle ❤
Jo Malone London Silver Birch and Lavender is one of my favorites!
surprised you didnt mention Prada Luna Rossa Carbon.... the ;lavendar is that is incredible.
Glad someone mentioned that, that lavender is amazing
I think lavender is unisex and I love it. Dior Homme and Initio Rehab

I only have Jersey from this list, the edt, and i love it so much.
It’s quite interesting how varied the same note can be. Le Male Elixir and Naxos were both scrubbers for me, but I love the likes of Layton, LNdH, Argos’s Fall of Phaeton and Penhaligon’s Endymion.
Luna Rossa Ocean, Guerlain Mon Guerlain, Burberry Goddess, Initio Paragon and Bond No.9 New Haarlem are all worth mentioning in this for great lavender prominent scents.
All great suggestions. I have and use some of these. I would add YSL Libre line and MYSLF, Mom Guerlain line, 4711.
PMs Lavande Romaine works beautifully on my skin.
I also would mention Scotch Lavander from Oriza L. Legrand. It is a very authentic take on Lavander with Tonka, Amber and Benzoin in the Base (by far my favourite).
Great list Sebastian..
Chanel Boy is the lavender fragrance for me. It is absolutely beautiful.
Boy is goooooood
I have Lavande 31. Great neroli-bergamot fragrance. Comes alive in very hot weather. I find longevity & projection to be decent for a summer frag.
I love lavender, it's my favorite herb. I love it in tea, pastries, and ice cream. Oddly enough, though, I don't have that many lavender-focused fragrances. I really want to try Molinard Lavande. That Maison Cravelli Absinthe Boreale sounds really interesting too. I love icy and metallic scents in the summer.
Lavender and lilac are wonderful. Any advice on black licorice/anise colognes as well?
I love lavender! I was trying to get some herbal lavender fragrances (not fougers) and this list will help!
Mon Guerlain is my holy grail lavender fragrance 💜💜💜
I got to try it!! It’s been a while!! 😀
I really love your videos Sebastian ive been keeping notes on some of the greatest you've mentioned and I'll buy them when i can afford it i just enjoy you talking about fragrances. Thank u for your videos 😊

Thanks I love lavender. Caron, tf BdJ, & Molinard. Will you consider making a new / updated “versatile” video? Loved the one you made 4 years ago!
Thanks Sebastian. Could you please review Nissaba Provence? Would love to know your opinion about it.
Noted! I do enjoy it btw. Smelled it several times.
Jacqueline by Gritti is a gorgeous representation of lavender with an almond-y lactonic dry down.
ORMAIE - Le Passant 💚💜💜💚
Absolutely agree with the similarities between Celine Rimbaud and Caron PUH. Love the fragrance, but find it redundant.
Thank you Sebastian for the great video....Lavender is one of my most favs
That and Patchouli 😂😂😂
I used to spray Lavande de L'Occitane like there's no end
But since they have stopped bringing to the US Ive been more conservative about it
I love Santal 33, by Le Labo and would love Lavender 31....but yeah....if its too weak, its very disappointing
I think based in the description of notes, I might enjoy Absynthe
Best regards!
Beau de jour is really a nice barbershop scent. It’s got an interesting modern but classic smell. Unlike replica at the barbers, that just smells like cheap edge shaving gel foam.
CHILL! At the barbers fire too!!!
Sartorial is a masterpiece and my favorite lavender scent! In regards to Lavande 31, I noticed that it's veeeery similar to Jo Malone's Silver Birch & Lavender. The Matcha also reminds me of Jo Malone's Fig & Lotus Flower. These two recent releases have me wondering if Le Labo is just making slightly more sophisticated versions of Jo Malone scents now.
The Caron edt took me a little to get used to. But love it now. Need to add the hi-test to my list. Keep rockin it sir 🎉👍🤟🎸🎶
coffee break is my favorite!🤍
Yes! It’s so good ❤
Lavender is my favorite note, the Fougere is my favorite genre, and I think that lavender is the one masculine floral note.
I don't like the lavender in Naxos. It's amped up and is obnoxious with the uber-sweet and strong honey.
But some of my favorite lavender:
Serge Lutens Gris Clair
Creed Bois du Portugal
Tom Ford Beau de Jour
Houbigant Fougere Royale
Yardley's English Lavender
Amouage Bracken Man
Czech & Speake Traditional Lavender
Atkinson's Lavender on the Rocks
Floris Elite
MDCI Invasion Barbare
YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme
Chanel Boy
B612, fougere d’argent, Zaharoff signature are also great options
I'm still nursing my bottle of Antiheros from ELDO. My favorite lavender centric frag.
Great video. Was hoping to also see one of my favorites - Frederic Malle Music for a While.
1725 Histoires de Parfums is pretty nice too
I'm surprised A2 wasn't mentioned. All I can smell is lavender, when I wear it.
I could happily wear le labo’s lavender every day. I like everything about it. I find it lasts all day for me, but yeah perhaps close to skin.
It smells so good. Poor performance on me sadly. 🥲
Hi Sebastian, I also like Oxford & Cambridge EDP by Czech & Speake
I understand that every lavender fragrance can’t be featured in this video but I’m quite surprised that Rabanne’s Phantom did not make it to this list. It’s a very prominent lavender in the top, mid and base note.
Excellent Video! Quite the eye opener. If you would ask me if I loved lavender, I would say I like it. I own 80% of these fragrances. I guess I love lavender!😂 Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Love Levander Note Nice List Sebastian❤
Ooo can u do another coffee videoooo , barista here lol
I love Le Labo and a bunch of their offerings but some are indeed light like Creed and Jo Malone fragrances.
I'm still missing a good portion of those amazing lavender scents, haven't sniffed them yet, but I really enjoy Platinum Egoiste from Chanel, which is also a fragrance where the lavender has a good spotlight.
Amazing and brilliant stuff ❤Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. 😀
Rania J Lavander 44 es la mía ❤. Gracias Sebastián 😘
@ThePerfumeGuy Definetly Nishane B612
Creed Aberdeen Lavender is my favourite lavender scent.
That is a great scent yes!! One of the Creeds I really enjoy.
Boreal is awesome. Nice twist.
Naxos is always lauded for its tobacco but im glad you’re highlighting the lavendar because its what i really get from naxos the most! And i just love ittttt
Royal Scottish Lavender Creed too bad it was discontinued.😔
zaharoff pour homme might be my favorite lavender
I believe that eau noire (Dior) and masculin pluriel (mfk) deserve a spot in this top ten list. Both were created by Francis Kurkdjian. Guess he really knows his fougere!
Eau Noire is discontinued.
@@ThePerfumeGuy No it's not. It actually had a remake since Kurkdjian became the in-house perfumer for Dior.
Great review. But how come no mention of MFK Masculine Pluriel? One of the best if not the best lavender out there.
Sad no Platinum Egoiste
Okay im requesting an ultimate guide to cardamon fragrances!!! Please
I remember you said Caron Pour Homme EDT is an alternative to Chanel Boy. I love Boy. Do you think ladies can wear Caron?
To me best lavander fragrance is nishane - b612.
Rehab is 1:1 clone of viktor rolf spicebomb edt. They smell the same in the air
Have you reviewed Byredo 1996 Inez & Vinoodh? Thanks
Not a lavender fragrance, just asking if you have.
Have you heard any rumors about Beau de Jour? My TF counter person at Nordstrom says it’s being discontinued.
Women also wear JPG Le Male
I need an elevated version of the original Prada Luna Rossa
FM Music for a while is a beautiful Lavender pineapple combo
Could you imagine doing a lavander video without Caron?
this video was in my notifications and im wearing lavande 31 by le labo how ironic
just watched the video and i see what you mean, as a man it definitely wears soft! i mix it with black saffron from byredo it is amazing give it a try
OOH nice sounding combo!!
