    This is for someone who wants lavender's soul, not its reputation. It doesn't smell like soap. The chili and iris make sure of that, warmth beside the cool, powder beside the green.Black Lavender
    The frankincense at its heart is not subtle. It announces itself in a way that some will read as church incense and others will call magnificent, and that's the draw.Caftan
