Barrister’s Reserve Lavender (Barrister & Mann) bright lavender
Shave 2 ・ 112 g left
This fragrance of this Lavender is said to be based on Caldey Island’s Lavender Water, an aftershave made by Welsh monks who seem to have time enough after the opus Dei to work up something else divine. Luca Turin, one of the world’s best known connoisseurs of fine fragrances, raves about it. In his words it’s “Summer wind made smell.” Will has done a good job re-creating that aestival bliss in a shaving soap. To my nose, Lavender is very bright, lemony, and lovely, with hardly a hint of camphor. The Barrister’s Reserve line appears to be defunct, but this same lavender is available in Will’s Omnibus base.
