Reviews of Acqua di Parma Lavanda Tonica (1999)
by Acqua di Parma

Pleasing. Not too bad at all, considering my intial disappointment with AdP...

Not too over the top. I actually prefer this most English Lavanders out there.

I would, however, never purchase this unless, by chance, they put it on sale for $10, so I could use it as a linen freshener.

I'm certainly not saying its bad or un-wearable, but just not something I would wear.

Unfortunately, its dry-down leaves nothing to the imagination - too sweet for me to consider this a good herbal/lavander perfume.

I guess it needs a selection of British and Continental lavenders, and some Greek Rosemary, and perhaps some Marjoram and a dash of Vetiver to liven it up and stay the sweetness...Some Juniper would be great in the base...Yes, the perfumer should have considered those notes...lol, now I'm telling people how to do there jobs...

A very pleasing lavender fragrance—it is not exactly weak. I feel that the lavender carries a punch—it has a strong lavender presence, at least for the short time that it lasts. And it is quite a beautiful lavender accord—rich, luscious, clear. There is a little lemon and florals added to it to round it out, but it thoroughly retains its lavender essence. The longevity of Acqua di Parma Lavanda Eau de Toilette leaves a lot to be desired—forty-five minutes at the most and it is too expensive of a fragrance to have that short of duration. It is also too feminine for me, but it is a lovely and somewhat dramatic lavender fragrance.

A very light lavender water type scent with a hint of spice. Pleasant enough, but more suited for the ladies.
