About Lavender 1988
Lavender 1988: A Timeless Floral Scent
Launched in 1988 by Crabtree & Evelyn, Lavender 1988 is a women's floral fragrance anchored in lavender. It's a soft, powdery composition that feels both classic and comforting.
The heart of jasmine and violet blends with a base of tonka bean, vanilla, and musk, creating a sweet, creamy dry-down.
Lavender 1988 opens with a crisp, aromatic lavender that never feels harsh or herbal. The note is clean, like a freshly cut lavender bunch, and immediately sets the fragrance's character.
In the heart, jasmine and violet deliver a floral, powdery facet. Violet provides that signature talcum-like feel, while jasmine softens everything with a gentle white floral creaminess.
The base of tonka bean, vanilla, and musk wraps the lavender in a sweet, warm embrace. Vanilla and tonka bean create a vanillic, almost gourmand effect, while musk lends a soft, lingering texture.
The result is a white floral, sweet and amber-touched, with aromatic nuances and a strong powdery accent. This isn't a dry or medicinal lavender; it's a cozy, feminine version that feels like a comforting classic.
With time, the scent turns more intimate and honeyed, bringing out the vanilla and musk accords. It feels soft and understated, making it a go-to for everyday wear, the office, or any moment you want something elegant without too much noise.
This will appeal to women who love elegant lavender with a powdery, vanillic edge. Also great for fans of traditional floral scents with a cozy twist.
Overall, Lavender 1988 is a well-crafted fragrance that delivers exactly what its name promises: a classic lavender floral, still lovely decades on.
