Lavendar Splash

Iv'e been on a bit of a Lavender kick lately.

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent splash?

Thanks,

I think that the 50 ml bottle from Caldey Abbey is a splash. The 100 ml is a spray.

Agua Lavanda Puig is also an excellent splash (although not technically an aftershave).

Thayer's Lavander Witchhazel. Love the smell, and it helps keep my skin from drying out during the winter time.

Saint Charles Shave Lav is nice stuff.

Santa Maria Novella makes a lavender splash that is wonderful smelling and fantastically functional in equal measure.

+1 its smell is pure lavender it does its job and it fades after a little while. Try this one, my girlfriend loves it, and the smell of it on me. It's witch hazel so its a good aftershave splash and toner.

+1 on SCS Lavender. I'm not much on Lavender + it's probably my favorite splash from Sue.

AOS Lavender makes a really nice gel + balm, and L'Occitane makes a good lavender balm with black pepper.

I've heard good things about the Santa Maria Novella lavender, but haven't had the opportunity to try.

+1 on the Caldey Abbey.

Yes. It's part of their After Shave Lotion line. BTW, the picture on the Lafco website is outdated. The label on the bottle has changed, in case you get it and wonder what happened.

And, uh, are you calling me Fancy Pants, or is that your nickname?

Where can I get this from?

**Just looking** · 02-09-2010, 09:24 AM

The SCS sounds good as well.

I'm in Canada though so shipping is a bit of a challenge.

Petr, the best way to avoid such temptations is to stay far away from this site.

I checked the review section Horatio - that was a well written review. Nice job

Honestly, I've not used it.

However, on the strength of Horatio's ~~love~~ review I went to a nearby store, rubbed a bit into my skin & had a sniff or 2. True to his review there's a dark, anchoring base note to this stuff -- maybe tobacco -- that's very much to his liking but not at all to mine. So I passed. However, that's from a scent perspective only. Quality-wise, I'm sure it's top notch. It certainly felt very nice when I applied it to the back of my hand.
