Reserve Lavender t. (Barrister & Mann)
★★★★★ bright lavender
B&M has infused their lavender with buckets of sunshine creating a gemlike quality that's both brilliant and pure. Reserve Lavender captures all that plant's light, rich, aromatic goodness sifted clean of clumpy earth notes and biting camphor. It reminds me of one of our favorite lunch spots just up the coast, not much more than a country shack with a patio dining area. A lavender garden frames the windward side. On warm spring afternoons we like to sprawl here under the bright tropical sun and let the fragrant ocean breezes blow over us like dreams of Provence.
