   |  A very nice fragrance from Roger et Gallet. Be sure and use the EDC (spectacular!) and not the EDT (too heavy!) which is what I suspect some of the folks with negative comments here may have tried. Unlike the sweet compound lavender of L'Occitane that adds marigold and peach making it impossible for a man to wear this is essential lavender at its best. Raw, light and bracing. No, it doesn't last forever but R&G eau de colognes aren't supposed to send people running from the room. If you like a basic lavender cologne, this one is hot! 26 June 2009 |
 |  Is THIS something? Sorry, what? Can't figure out nothing... And I bought it blind (and left nose at home...) expecting to find some classic-old-good stuf...! Nonsense. Gonna give it to my mother-in-law (84yo)... expecting she already lost her nose !20 November 2008 |
 | It is a lavender fragrance, of course. It is not a very impressive lavender – it is rather lifeless, but it isn’t a bad version, either; it simply should have a little more character – its lack of potency and lack of delicacy simply aren’t enough to establish any kind of character. Lavande Royale is, of course, a very short lasting cologne splash (It is even shorter lasting than it should be: It doesn’t even reach typical splash-cologne standards). While the main note lasts, the sillage is quite good. To me, lavender as a solo note is barely acceptable: I am not a lavender fan and Roger & Gallet Lavande Royale is not changing that prejudice. 23 August 2008 |
  | I love the smell of lavender, especially fresh lavender. Lavande Royale has none of that. This reminds me of the Jimi Hendrix song, “Purple Haze.” This is a dense, thick cloud of scent; it is the fragrance equivalent of Jimi’s cascading cloud of notes. If a man may express an opinion on a women’s fragrance, I’d suggest lavender lovers need to keep looking. R&G has some lovely scents, I don’t think this is one of them. 06 March 2007 |
