Lavendar Extreme Clones

"### How it Smells Lavande opens with an unexpected candied violet, eclipsing any initial lemon zest I hoped to detect. It borders on medicinal, evoking a strong cherry cough syrup aroma rather than the clean citrus sparkle of its inspiration. The heart attempts to emulate a complex floral arrangement with lavender as the cornerstone, but the geranium asserts itself too aggressively, imbuing a metallic tang. The rose is muted, nearly undetectable beneath the geranium's clatter. As it settles, the base exposes a significant divergence. Instead of the smooth, ambery tonka bean promised, I perceive a sharp, coumarin overdose. The drydown has a plasticky quality that isn't overtly unpleasant, but does impart a synthetic, slightly acrid sensation that persists. This clone misses the original's nuanced transitions; it's a coarser interpretation. ### Is it Worth It? This fragrance finds its niche in casual daytime scenarios where subtlety is desired. It might be appropriate for a relaxed brunch setting, or even a trip to a botanical garden. Its casual and light scent profile would be out of place during formal evening engagements. ### The Performance Stats On my skin, Lavande persisted for approximately five hours, with the initial projection extending just beyond arm's length for the first hour. Subsequently, it receded into a close skin scent, discernible only upon close inspection. I tested it during a moderately warm, indoor setting."
