I happen to find the L'Artisan Jatamansi a great composition too, so I'm really disappointed to find out it's discontinued. What a shame!! <br />Eden Botanicals is good, I confirm that. But as you say the L'Artisan was a lighter, airier interpretation and really unique. <br />Do get a bottle of Douro, it's fine for summer!

I don't like the essential oil as a stand-alone smell but I do appreciate it in a perfume mix. Lavandin is isolated too, so some of the harsher aspects are eliminated. <br /><br />How very lovely feedback on the Melissa and Verbena; got to get a bottle Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-13620619719091955952012-07-31T17:57:18.897+01:002012-07-31T17:57:18.897+01:004711 Meliisa & verbena is lovely, and as for l...4711 Meliisa & verbena is lovely, and as for lavender, I absolutely HATE it!!

I get what you're saying.
It's ...Merlin,<br /><br />I get what you're saying. <br /><br />It's always a bet with lavenders with me too. I prefer the coumarinic lavenders in fragrances, but it also has to be the right balance so that they don't end up smelling like functional products either. :/<br /><br />Oh definitely, Herba Fresca is indeed an aromatic!! It's so minty fresh and herbaceous!

I always loved its civet dirt, which accounts for the high contrast between the fresh top and the naughty base, but as you say, still very good. <br /><br />Oh, that patch of lavender should have been so very good and fragrant.

I find it a stimulating, fresh smell myself. <br />I think the soothing reputation is mostly based on the ready mixes which make lavender more coumarinic/more vanillic. That is a relaxing blend all right. ;-)Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-73626556078578381002012-07-31T11:46:45.829+01:002012-07-31T11:46:45.829+01:00Brie,
