The rosemary, sage, and other top notes that are often common in masculine fragrances don't turn this scent masculine imo. It leans feminine, though I believe it's officially unisex 😊
The top notes are blended into an aromatic accord that enhances the lavender along with the sweetly lactonic caramel and cotton candy middle. Its drydown is where the magic lives for me, because the caramel and cotton candy sweeten the lavender's edges and take it beyond just being floral/aromatic and into gourmand territory.
I will say: this is quite a strong lavender scent; I'm actually reminded of car air freshener when I first apply this—it's loud (would limit myself to two full sprays of this at any time, and might actually prefer it in a rollerball). But, as it dries, I'm suspended in the scent bubble of a lavender dream, which is reportedly not far off from the sniffari that is a stroll in the fields of Hungary's Tihany. SERIOUSLY considering a full bottle of this one; it's for the lavender fiends❤️awesome sillage.
Added one star because it's grown on me even more since my first impression, and I love the bottle.
