Oxford & Cambridge (1994)
by Czech & Speake

A green, minty, camphorous blend of lavender and other herbs that I find very refreshing and healing in nature. Lavender has that granny reputation from its use in sachets, make up and powders etc. But lavender has another side to its nature as one of the more healing fragrances in the aromatherapy world. The effect of lavender varies tremendously depending on the quality of the ingredients and type of lavender used. Spike lavender and green lavender leaves are much greener and have that healing quality that is quite different from lavender flowers which are sweet and lighter. The C&S Oxford & Cambridge uses the more medicinal lavendar to create a very refreshingly pure, slightly medicinal fragrance. I wear it when I want to heal the self a little. It is purity in a bottle. I like it very much.

A very old-fashioned fragrance: Lavender pur! It smells like the lavender water of my granny.

For me, this just barely rates a thumbs up. Pleasant enough for a lavander men's scent and excellent quality, but a tad to weak.
