In 1940, Antonio Puig introduced Agua de Lavanda — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A unisex fragrance rooted in the fern family. The fragrance was crafted by perfumer André Ricard. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.
It carries a noticeable sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. One application and it's not going anywhere — longevity is very high. The birthplace of this fragrance — Spain, a place with a refined nose. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Agua de Lavanda is shaped as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Antonio Puig is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Green, Aromatic and Floral. It also reaches into Spicy, Earthy / Mossy, Wood and Musk. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Fern.
As soon as the fragrance opens you sense invigorating sunny opening notes: Bergamot, Lavender and Rosemary.
In the middle phase you meet Geranium and Nutmeg carrying a harmonious floral direction.
The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence Very high points to a sustained drydown presence. In trail behavior Noticeable describes the way the scent radiates.
Taken together Agua de Lavanda holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best understood through real development.
