Lavendar Noir Aftershave Splash (Ultima)
Lavendar Noir is a warm & somewhat dark lavender scent which I think will become a big time crowd pleaser. I’m not aware of anything smelling quite like this and believe this will represent our luxury line quite well. As mentioned, Lavender Noir offers a very warm and wonderful lavender fragrance using two types of lavender. LN leads with its tangy passion of Bergamot, while lavender and geranium blend into a fresh note, chic and chivalrous all at once. The lavender is most prominent. I’m using two types of lavender. Lavender absolute, which is paste-like and lavender Grosso a beautiful French hybrid. The composition is enhanced by the natural elegance of pink pepper, which I use quite often. The base settles on a bed of vanilla and agarwood with an intriguing note of coffee added. Lastly, I used Siam Benzoin direct from Thailand.

Okay, but not what I was expecting or hoping for. I get a lot of a synthetic amber smell, but no lavender at all. I was hoping for a spicy and smooth lavender note with some citrus and pepper. As mentioned, I'm getting a lot of amber along with vanilla and benzoin which pushes the sweet vanilla like cloud beyond my personal taste. Giving it three instead of two stars for the nice raw materials, as it does soothe after a shave.
Great stuff. Unique fragrance. Not typical drying alcohol based splash. Highly recommended
Great soap and aftershave performance with a scent that is amazing and loved by the family.
It smells really nice, plenty of nourishment for the skin, the only thing I don’t like about A&E splashes is that all of them smell sweet, which isn’t my favorite.
I loved it and my wife loved it. The name says it all - a darker version of lavender and an all around excellent soap. I like usually rotate my soaps but used this one three times in a row.
