    Warning! - there's a HUGE difference between the EDT and EDP. The EDT is a lavender-heavy, fairly boring fruity floral, a bit dusty before the fruit kicks in. The EDP, on the other hand, is one...

    I tried this a while ago and dismissed it. Boy, was I wrong. It's a grower. I like it better each time I wear it. Lovely. Belle is a wonderful coffee fragrance on top of a vanilla & patchouli...

    I find this to be a boring, semi-cloying fragrance. I love lavender, but the amber, frankincense and patchouli kind of kill Belle for me. It's not awful, but I never find myself searching for this...

    I see a lot of reviews talking about lavender, and I guess I can smell a little lavender here, but what I notice most is FRUIT. I suppose it could be some trick of the heliotrope and vanilla, but...

    I like the smell of lavender...in my garden...on my grandpa...in my dryer. I've never liked it on my skin. This fragrance opens hugely LAVENDER, and almost sent me running. I gave it a couple of...

    If you loved Obsession, Poison, and Opium in the 80's and grieved when it became unpopular to wear orientals, this will be for you.It also doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is available in my local...

    OMG! I just bought this off of Ebay, unsniffed and am I sorry I did that. On me, this smells like toothpaste. I was worried, what the lavender was going to do, now I know. Yuck, on me. Maybe...

    Very nice and wearable fruity woody oriental, warm yet fresh (not fresh as in ozonic/aquatic). Sheer but not light. Drydown is less fruity, more dry woody amber. Good fragrance, I would wear it,...

    Well hm. When I was in high school I wore The Healing Garden's Lavender Therapy products quite often, and really, this reminds me so much of those. It's not just that they both share lavender but...

    This is a gorgeous scent - somehow clean, sultry and smoky all at the same time. It's the cooling effect of the lavender that shifts it into another gear. I've never had occasion toi describe a...

    Aack - a scrubber. Nauseating sweet scent, and mind you, I like a lot of sweet scents. There's something in here that doesn't go with the sweetness. Oh man.

    I have no idea if I will buy it again, but it smells like a dupe of Obsession for women. I will have to try it again and see if I can pick out the lavendar. If you like CK's Obsession, then this...

    For the first few minutes all I get is a crisply candied heliotrope - the frankincense and lavender accord takes awhile to emerge on me, and I'll confess that I just don't think the combination...

    The notes sounded intriguing, but this ain't no Encens et Lavande. Started out a pleasant sweet lavender with a bit of amber and resin, but quickly degenerated into Sweet Oriental Mess.

    This is very vanillic on my skin. I personally don't notice lavender at all... It is sweet but manage to stay "decent", not too cloying. It reminds me of "L" by Lolita Lempicka but "L" is more...
